Work History

Senior Android Engineer

Acara Solutions
Dallas, TX
07.2022 - 12.2024
  • I worked as a Senior Engineer to develop an app for public transportation. I specifically worked on the Google Maps/Ride tab part of the app. We used RxJava 2, Retrofit, Android Room, Jetpack Compose, Google Maps API, Kotlin, and MVP architecture.
  • Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details? id=com.cubic.ctp.app&pcampaignid=web_share

Senior Android Engineer

Cognizant Technologies
Dallas, TX
07.2021 - 07.2022
  • I worked with the Albertsons crew to develop an app running on Zebra hardware and an Android OS. Our goal was to facilitate the delivery of online orders to the intended customer with precision. This involved a precise modeling of each aisle of the store, as well as the inventory and stock in each aisle. Our app would take in the consumer's order, use a BFS algorithm to determine the shortest path to each item, and a barcode scanner to correctly price and catalog each item scanned.

Senior Android Engineer

Lavamap
New York, New York
07.2020 - 07.2021
  • I worked with a team of intelligent engineers and a young entrepreneur to develop a 3D scanning application for virtual tours. This app was developed during the height of COVID and was meant as a means to allow people the opportunity to tour apartments without a physical appointment. We would 3D scan the apartments using a specific phone outfitted with a "Depth Sensor."

Android Engineer

Bosch
Pittsburgh, PA
07.2019 - 07.2020
  • We developed a Security and Safety Things Ecosystem for our custom cameras running a proprietary version of the Android OS, and utilizing apps to leverage machine learning algorithms for image detection. While there, I worked on a Pose Detector application, a Facial Recognition application (using OpenCV), and a License Plate Detector application (trained with an online image database). Our image recognition models were formatted with TensorFlow and incorporated into our applications.
