We translate businesses into useful Android software led by user-focused engineering.

Established a company to facilitate my remote work journey.
• Developed 40+ Android/Mobile projects
• Collaborated with diverse teams, often leading as a Senior or Consultant

Here are a few links to the notable apps that I worked on:

• • Max (ex HBO GO) (100M+ downloads)
• • Yahoo Daily Fantasy (10M+ downloads)
• • HungerStation (10M+ downloads)
• • PlayerFM (5M+ downloads)

App for mastering the art of drawing and sketching.

• I was hired to speed up the development of the app.
• I was in charge of building the Camera and AR functionality from scratch. Previously, OpenGL was used and I replaced it with ArCore.
• The code had been built with help from ChatGPT and without a proper architecture in mind. This presented many interesting challenges, especially because the client had a very limited budget, so I had to focus on navigating around the existing code and adding functionality without a full refactoring.
• I wrote a guide to refactor the code through a few steps for the client.
• After the main functionality was implemented, the client extended the contract to launch the app to beta and then to production.

Skills: Android, Kotlin, Java, ArCore, Camera, MVVM

Letro is a service like email -- but end-to-end encrypted, spam-free, phishing-free and works without the Internet too -- all thanks to Awala which is a delay-tolerant, overlay network.

I was in charge of setting up the project from scratch in a Clean variation of an MVVM architecture without the Domain Layer.

• An e-commerce webshop that sells food and beverages worldwide.
  
  The client had 2 years of sales data in a CSV from WooCommerce orders and 1 year tracking with Google Analytics which presented interesting challenges.
  
  There were 2 goals:
•      • Figure out where to target the next campaign with maximizing profits &
       • Detect performance issues & UX/UI bottlenecks.
  
  In order to learn more about the BI tools, I had been switching between Power BI & Tableau.
  Here is the Git repository with the process of cleaning anonymized data.
  
  Some of the tasks during data cleaning were:
       • All transactions before 12th Aug 2022 from Croatia were in HRK -> convert to EUR to match the rest of the purchase history &
       • All transactions after 31st Dec 2022 were in EUR.
  
  Order shipping was sometimes empty -> asked the client -> there were 3 reasons why:
       • User used a coupon,
       • User from Croatia ordered more than 52 EUR of products &
       • User from the rest of the world ordered more than 290 EUR of products.
  
  • Some of the insights shared with the client
  • Order shipping was not properly applied to some of the transactions
  • Added a few comparisons to discuss the next potential target country, city, customer profile & product
  • I had 2 mentors and meetings once a week with each.

Free and user-friendly Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) patient support app.

I built the app from scratch to finish by copying iOS version with almost no guidance.
I loved the full freedom with a few architectural constraints. I had the most fun building the custom calendar and building the app in the Clean architecture.

The 2 most challenging screens were:

• Treatment details - very complex data structure and presentation layer with 20 different mappers, designed to make the UX as smooth as possible &
• Body map screen - utilized a C++ library to map body parts for selection. This was my 2nd time working with a native library and I loved the ease of use which another developer made. The biggest issue here was usage of enums -- sealed classes would be a much better way to do this.

The client had an immediate need for revamping the app which had a basic functionality but a lot of legacy code and after the Discovery phase of the Geolocation Wristband, they liked my work and hired me on this one too.

• I was in charge of Code Review, bug fixing and updating the code which included converting Java files to Kotlin, adding the MVVM architecture to the original no-architecture and following all the best practices.

A pub-crawling app for Korean test market (6 months)

The client’s goal was to publish a pub-crawling Android application to the Google Play Store. They chose me to develop it after I gave a review of the two previous developers' code.

On this project, I have done the following:
 • Implemented the full development of the Android and Parse back-end by doing the weekly tasks that I had brainstormed with the client,
 • Migrated the app from Eclipse to Android Studio &
 • Migrated the back-end from DreamFactory to Parse.

We’ve published the app successfully to Google Play Store and I continued working on the revisions until the client paused the project indefinitely.

Conference app for Dubai (2 months)

The client wanted a completion of 70% of the finished app on which 4 freelancers, one after another, worked before they left the project. The code was in the worst condition I ever saw and the client had a very tight schedule. The client delivered a fully developed app on time with my help.

Technologies: Android, Java, Rest

I had done the architecture, documentation, full development, partial design, testing, publishing, and promoting.

Being my first published app, I learned a lot including Google Maps API, location, fragments, custom UX and UI design, lists, etc.
