PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Principal iOS Software Developer

Confidential

Responsibilities:

• Xcode (8.1) was the primary IDE used in this project. The primary language for this project was a mixture of Swift 3 and Objective - C. Primary disciplines used for this project: UIViewController, UITableView, MKMapView, UI Navigation Controller and CL Location Manager.
• Eclipse for PHP was used as the primary development IDE for the backend PHP coding. The local development environment was run on an Apache Web Server running PHP and MySQL. Development of the PHP scripts and SQL design involved implementing the following:
• Leveraged MySQL PDO (PHP Data Objects) in the design of each used interaction between client and host systems.
• Implemented PDO prepared statements for every transaction, which improves response times as well as adding an extra level of security, specifically for SQL injection.
• Implemented a Google Geolocation API, by which a set of missing location coordinates (Latitude-Longitude) could be collected based upon a full postal address supplied by Los Angeles County.
• Developed a set of PHP and Swift 3 routines that will parse JSON data streams between client and host.
• All SQL queries and table definitions built on the backend were designed and developed on the local environment using Navicat for MySQL.
