PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

Contractor

Confidential,Plano, TX

Responsibilities:

• Lead Programmer Analyst for Confidential catalog application. The paper catalog is gone. The mobile app is the flagship of today’s catalog business.
• Worked on several Agile based projects using JIRA.
• Coded new features for the catalog applications using collection views.
• Confidential project: added features for the Beauty department which included multi rows of color swatches, quantity restrictions and special brand labeling for Confidential .
• Buy Online Pickup in Store project: major rework of the current UX.
• Silver project added support to sell major appliances. This includes package deals where a customer receives additional discount for buying all appliances in a package.
• Aided with the UX design for a clean easy to use interface.
• Heavy usage of the REST API for server communication.
• JSON HTTP is used for flexible database updates.
• A total redesign of the sales application was started in 2016. The redesigned was used as an opportunity to do a complete rewrite using Swift. There was no bridging to the old objective C code. Major areas of programming effort included.
• The application was reorganized to allow customers shorter paths to their desired products. The use of both a tab bar and navigation bar gives the customers more control over selecting options.
• The views that display products were made simpler and cleaner to allow the customer to easily customize their selections.
• Animation was added to many of the actions, such as, add to bag shows the product image shrinking and dropping into the shopping bag on the tab bar.
• Operation queues where set up to handle REST API calls. The queuing allowed for multi threaded API calls with dependencies that could be added to allow blocks of calls to be processed and a completion block to be perform when all operations completed.
• Extensive use of sub classing was performed to allow as much reusing of code as possible.
• Protocols were used to communicate between the main view and child views.
• In late 2016 I was in charge of adding iPad support with a scheduled release of April. There was major UX changes to take advantage of the iPad.
• The home screen layout on the iPhone has a top selector bar and a bottom tab bar. The iPad moved some if the items to the bottom tab bar, or to areas on the home page. This required at launch time the tab bars where dynamically laid out based on the size class.
• Screen rotation effected every view even it there was no major change in the layout.
• StoryBoards were used to handle many of the changes in text size and field placement by adding trait classes. Fonts, text size, field locations, and constraints all changed.
• Split view controllers where used on gallery pages to show filtering options.
• The product view would display fields in a different sequence based on the type of device. The configuration options for a product was placed in a floating view that could be moved to display more data.
• A flow layout was used to over come many of the problems with iOS classes. Such as, if a collection view row only has 1 item, iOS will center the item even if it is specified as left justified.
• Skills Utilized: Stash, JIRA, Agile, xCode, Objective C, Swift, Core Data, Core Graphics, XML, Story Board, Source Tree, REST API
