Android developer

Confidential, McLean, VA

Responsibilities:

• Involved in complete lifecycle of the product including design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance of the application.
• Worked in scrum environment and followed weekly sprints with daily scrum meetings.
• Worked on both the UI elements and the backend for the complete product support on a native development environment (Android SDK).
• Extensively worked Google Maps, Location manager, Location Client, Service and Geocoder for primary backend service layer.
• Extensively worked on UI elements like Activity, Fragments, Custom Listview, Expandable Listview, Webview, Custom Dialog, Navigation Drawer, Spinners, Progress Dialog and Linear Layout as base layout for the views and Drawer layout as the layout for quick navigation menu.
• Used fragments as the main UI component to separate views, for a quick transition and to replace other views as required.
• Worked with JSON for interacting with the backend and sending/receiving requests back to/from the server to notify the changes made to the application settings.
• Used AsyncHttpClient (Loopj library) as a default HttpClient for better performance and flexibility as it does asynchronous calls and puts less load on the device and application.
• Other important use of this library was to get two generic handlers like on Success and on Failure to determine whether the Async transaction was a success or a failure.
• To keep track of user’s location, wrote a location service that sends/receives user’s geo-location to the server to match with the available events and offers close to the target areas defined in the backend so that the device receives push notification and alerts.
• Used shared preferences extensively throughout the application to save important location updates and device preferences for consistent data management.

• Supported theapplicationfor differentandroidtarget devices and did regression testing after the alpha release of the application. and also debugged the issues using DDMS for optimization purposes.
• Used debugging tools like DDMS for tracking bugs and optimizing the code efficiently and hierarchy viewer to track the UI behavior on the application.

ANDROID DEVELOPER

Confidential, Reston, VA

Responsibilities:

• Took over the existing project and was involved in design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance of the project.
• Worked in scrum environment and followed biweekly sprints with daily scrum meetings.
• Created new UI components and replaced with the existing UI.
• Worked specifically on native code with Android SDK.
• Extensively worked Google Maps, iBeacons(Estimotes) and Parse as a backend server to keep track of user events.
• Used iBeacons to determine the user’s location inside a specific area and send the information on every time interval specified.
• Based on the iBeacons major, minor and UUID, determined the closest iBeacon for a specific functionality because every iBeacon was placed in a specific room with own unique name and the information was stored in Parse.
• Used different activities and tabs to keep track of events and distribute the workflow.
• Used a separate server to get the information from the Parse backend and do a push event to the user. Every time a new event is created from the backend, a new task is saved to the server and the server sends the push message to the user/users associated within the geo fence and navigates the user/users to a safe location. This process was used for the application efficiency and prevents the battery drain because of major http requests made to the server.
• Used Nexmo to automate the SMS messages to the users who are not associated with this application but are added as emergency contacts whom the actual user when sends the update to Parse back-end, the application automatically sends the message to the users associated with the user.
• To keep track of user’s location, wrote a location service that sends the users geo-location to the server in a specific time interval and the geo-location on the backend. Also used service to determine the iBeacons location when the user’s location has changed from a specific area.
• Implemented InAppBilling (Monthly Subscription) for the application where a user/users can select the subscription level for the application and get charged on a monthly basis.
• Used Bitbucket to keep track of repositories, Confluence to keep track of documents that’s shared amongst the team members and JIRA for issue tracking.
• Fixed JIRA tickets throughout the development of the application.
• Daily tested theapplicationon differentandroidtarget devices and also debugged the issues using DDMS for optimization purposes.
