The most amazing...
...intellectual challenge I've worked on was building a magnification and image manipulation algorithm running directly on the GPU—32x magnification in real-time.
Employment
Experience
- Piti Piti Pa | African Drum Rhythm Archive
This was written entirely in Objective-C using Xcode and it works on all mobile and tablets running iOS. It has a custom sound and graphics rendering engine, audio and video synchronization with a millisecond accuracy; including the support for AppleTV and remote audio. I'm currently in the process of rewriting the entire application in Swift 4 using the SuperPowered.io sound library.
- ZoomText Mac
I created a proof of concept within a weekend which led to nine months of development where I was involved in a major part of developing a custom desktop software magnification solution running mostly on the GPU; capable of sharp 32x magnification. I collaborated with a team to implement all the UI tracking. ZoomText for Mac was commercially available as the top magnifying solution for Mac from 2012 to 2018.
- Base64 Library for iOShttps://github.com/ekscrypto/Base64
I wrote an optimized Base64 encoding/decoding library for macOS and iOS in Objective-C using Xcode. The final compiled library encodes 4 to 5 times faster than the equivalent built-in SecTransform and 30% faster than l4u/NSData+Base64. I also integrated CocoaPods and it is open source.
