Cash Register Point of Sale App

I created this app as the sole programmer. It processes payments, takes orders, has a place where you can view and update customer information, and also view customer purchasing habits. The app uses the Square SDK for payments. Previously, I integrated the app with two other payment providers, including a hardware credit card reader and payment processor.

Invoice Maker Pro

I developed the first iOS version. I recreated an Android app for creating billable invoices, in Objective-C, with the appropriate redesign.

A Tinder-like Dating App

This was contract work where I had to re-skin a social-network, dating app and add functionality, including impressive animations and graphs.

Aurora Concept App Used in Their $160K Kickstarter

Magic Phone Cleaner
