Full-stack Mobile Developer | Technical Director | Co-founder
Paisanos Creando
- Built a VR/AR product for McDonald's with Unity. The app trained new employees on oven usage with AR.

- Created a mobile tool in Android for training in a Rugby Club. The app consisted of up to 10 phones that were synced with each other via wireless/Bluetooth (sockets). When the game starts, it randomly selects one phone and it shows a screen color or reproduces a sound. The rugby player will respond to that and touch the phone, this will trigger another random phone and so on until the training finishes. The app measures analytics like response time, reaction time, and calculates a score for the training.

- Led the mobile development team and built the back-end API on AWS and Bitrise.
