RECENT PROJECTS
Vox Orbis LLC
Senior Systems Architect/Developer 2013, iOS iPhone/iPad - Java Android Phone and Tablet - Python Django/MySQL
Tasked with migrating the client's Django based business web portal from a web host managed by the company that developed the site for him, to a host account that the client owns and maintains. Required installing and configuring Python, Django, MySQL, over 25 special Python 'Mods', transferring static files and database content to the new host. Developed a migration plan to allow for a quick cutover to the new host. Migration was on-time and completely successful.
In addition to the portal migration, I developed a major functional update to the client's iOS iPhone application, adding Social Network sharing to Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn as well as adding the capability for customers to submit multiple language translation requests with one submission, exponentially increasing the potential revenue from in-app purchases. This update had to be delicately timed with the web portal migration, and I ensured that the new iPhone update was available just as the portal migration was finalized.
Converted the client's iPhone only app to a Universal iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch application, optimizing graphical components for varying screen sizes and densities. Localized all English language based program resources, and integrated Chinese resources as a proof-of concept in preparation for localizing the app into 20 different languages.
Ported the client's app from iOS to Android, with a focus on supporting medium, large and xtra-large tablet screen sizes and densities.
