SUMMARY:

• Motion/Interactive Graphics Designer and a full - stack iOS Mobile Designer/Developer. Creating and integrating custom APIs for mobile development.
• Learning Unity and mobile game development.
• I have a passion for creating and I see applications as merely tools to accomplish ideas, concepts and dreams.
• I have always had an art background, but I have in the last decade have developed software and coding development to take ideas into a reality for personal and client projects.
• Many projects are not on my portfolio site, but I have an extensive project history that I can always draw from for inspiration.
• Building iOS applications with 4 apps in the iOS app store. Using popular frameworks, APIs, building Xcode IB UI from PS mockups near pixel-perfect. Able to fork frameworks into a new API for a project. Custom API creation and integration using NodeJS and MongoDB. Creating and printing 3D prints with 3D printing.
• Designed and coded a Swift weather app using the OpenWeather API. App uses current weather and forecast data and can customize background colors, and include a background image from the user's photo library. Future release will have feature to select custom primary colors and secondary colors.
• Main use of app allows users to create/edit a profile from a login either from a Firebase AuthO or Facebook Login SDK. App then uses Firebase Database, Firebase Storage to store crowd-source profile data. Users can create Pokemon sightings which stores the UserId, time found, and other relevant data. The instance is shown on a localized map query using GeoFire. Users can search the app for specific instances, then click the profile who created the instance, or click on the map to find directions to the instance in Maps. All customized CocoaTouch classes from Annotations, AnnotationViews, Callouts, CalloutViews, and Half Modal Presentations were generated for this app.
• Using CryptoSwift, Dollar, Kingfisher, Alamofire, Moya, ObjectMapper, Result, Reusable, RxSwift, and SwiftySoup Frameworks. Searchable requests to the MarvelAPI and returns results that are parsed in JSON into custom data classes to update app UI. Extended the MarvelAPI by extracting the wikiURL to load wiki webpage and parsed using SwiftySoup. The extracted html elements are then updated to the app UI. Conditional statements are written to handle the MarvelAPI characters that do not have wiki pages and displayed into another custom UI. The comics section of zpedia requests and pulls data into a custom collectionView when then is selectable and the api data then updates the UI, and a link button when clicked sends the user to the Marvel Store to purchase the publication.
