Benjamin Mayrargue

Developed mobile applications (Android, iOS), evolutions, and other updates.

Gave advice on app content and design and gave support on design tools.

Recruited, managed, and trained additional external developers to support fluctuating work loads (up to 4).

- Full Xamarin C# platform-specific technology.
- Device independent vector graphics dramatically reduced the time lost testing and fixing graphics on multiple devices.
- Used my own component XamSvg available on component stores.
- Integrated LinkedIn Connect, Facebook Analytics, Google Analytics, and AppsFlyer.

A vector graphics library for Xamarin iOS, Android, WP, and XamForms.

The resolution of retina screens was a revolution. With each increase of pixels per inch on mobile phone screens, developers have to create new images for each new resolution, increasing the work load and the application weight.

SVG vector graphics are very small files describing an image mathematically through lines and curves. They can change their size and resolution without any pixelization. There is no app performance degradation at all, as the device GPU knows how to accelerate these renderings.

This library allows you to change just one file in order to change your icons. Additionally, the component supports pressed states and color remapping, so one SVG image file is enough.

I spoke at the Appdays.fr mobile conference in November, 2013, in Paris, France at IBM headquarters. I demonstrated how to use C# to code an Android app and an iOS app, and how to reduce code duplication up to 80% by using a cross-platform library. I also demonstrated Windows phone apps, a Windows 8 store app, and a Mac store app.

An app that I wrote to program and execute actions when a phone is near an NFC "tag." Examples include exchanging a VCard, connecting to WiFi without needing a password, sending an SMS, and more.
