website: http://www.opulabs.com

linkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/opu-labs-inc/

Technologies: Swift version 5.0, Xcode 11.3.1.

Opu Labs iOS application is a software that helps facilitate skin care in. Users can take photos or scans and have certain aspects of their skin health documented and or critiqued. As one of the developers on the iOS team, it was my job to add features and address bugs. I also did a limited amount of functionality refactoring so that the app could better adhere to the MVC design pattern.

Working on the app required extensive knowledge of CoreData and UserDefaults for aspects of the functionality that require persistence.

Moreover, the application also required thorough knowledge of UIImagePickerControllerDelegate for the accessing of the device camera and photoLibrary.

BroChat

Language: iOS Mobile Development, Swift 4.2

This is a simple messaging application written using Swift 4.2 and Xcode Version 10.2. This was an application that I created in my spare time so that I could become more familiar with Firebase functionality.

You will either register or login and once you do you click the compose button in the top righthand corner of the application and the application will display a searchable list of users.

You will then select a user to message and it will take you to the chat portion of the application.

Type a message in the input field and then click send or tap the return key. If you don’t have a long message or a lot of messages, tap the interface and the keyboard will lower to reveal all message that were sent. Tap the back button to return to the main screen and you will see that the message you entered as part of a list of conversations. Similar to the way text messages work on the iPhone.

At this point you can start new conversations with other users if you wish.

iClipze

This was the first version of the minimum viable product for an application that connects barbers with clients. However, more functionality was needed to make this a truly practical and useful application.

iClipze is an iOS application written in swift that gathers barbershop information about the nearest business and arranges the data for you. This application makes it convenient for you to gather information about a barbershop, contact the barbershop and schedule an appointment that is added to your iPhone calendar.

Tap the list button in the upper right hand corner and you will get a list of barbershops.

Once you get the list find the barbershop that you are interested in and swipe left. Then you will have the option to: call the barbershop, map it’s location or add it to your iPhone calendar.

If you select “call” the app makes the call for you. If you select schedule, the application will add the appointment to your iPhone calendar. If you tap “map,” the application will open up apple maps with the directions plotted out for you.

The above picture depicts the dialog for saving a scheduled appointment to the iPhone calendar.
