Android Developer
Freelance
- Revamped, in two weeks, an Android app that did not function properly and made it usable; also fixed the bugs that caused it to crash excessively. Due to the requirements, I did all this without replacing the original codebase.
- Tested thoroughly a smart cart's Android app; I physically went to a shopping center to make sure the app was working properly.
- Implemented new features of the Android app installed in the smart cart and also maintained it.
- Improved the logic behind product validation by implementing an algorithm that would detect theft using individual product weight and the overall weight of the cart.
Web Developer
Freelance
- Developed a single-page web app that helps restaurant employees take orders, manage stock, manage the menu, oversee branches, regulate employees, and generate reports.
- Managed the communication line between the business owner and development team.
- Oversaw the hosting service and deployment of the web app.
- Set up the thermal receipt printers and deployed the Windows services used to detect and print new orders placed to a specific branch.
Experience
Kuwait Finder App
This was a new challenge for me because, at that time, I had no prior knowledge of the Kotlin programming language and I was still learning Android development. This project showcases my fast learning capabilities and the high-quality work I can produce.
I was the sole developer for this Android application. Its high quality and new features helped increase the app's average rating to 4.6 in the Play Store. It is used by more than 228,000 users and is ranked as a top map-&-navigation app in Kuwait since its version 3.x launch in 2019.
