Experience
Core Data Manager
https://github.com/distressedrook/core-data-managerThis project addresses a significant challenge I encountered as a mobile developer. To overcome this challenge, I developed a drop-in persistence layer that has been widely adopted by developers for over seven years. It enables seamless integration and efficient data management, providing a reliable solution within the limitations of the existing back-end implementation.
Stacked Form
https://github.com/distressedrook/stacked-formWhile working on an iOS app that featured simple forms, we faced a product design problem. The aim was to receive multiple short inputs from the user without the clutter of existing form designs. We brainstormed an alternative design and implemented it in our application.
