The DSG app helps Ford dealers in five countries within the APEC region give their clients a better experience. The app lets clients go through the whole journey of selecting a vehicle, comparing packages, configuring colors and accessories, testing, and buying a new vehicle.

I was in charge of creating the user interface of the app using Interface Builder and code to create and manage constraints. We had to create a UI that was adjusted to what the design teams created and responsive enough to meet user needs. To achieve the best results, we used SnapKit to create the user interface and pop and UIView animation to deliver a smooth experience to the user.

I developed part of the business logic, communicating with the REST API using Alamofire and Moya. The app localizes data and content according to the user's registered country, so different services are called depending on location. We used native frameworks such as AVFoundation, SceneKit, SpriteKit, Notification Center, and Core Graphics, as well as common libraries such as Alamofire, Moya, Crashlytics, Realm, and ObjectMapper.

Seguros Falabella is one of the largest insurance companies in South America. They wanted to develop an app that would allow users to manage all their policies, request a tow truck, report an accident with real-time photos and videos, and locating gas stations and police stations.

I was the sole developer of the app during my two years at Reign Design. In collaboration with the project management team and UI/UX designers, I launched the project and developed the REST calls, business logic, and UI. The app used native frameworks such as AVFoundation, MapKit, Notification Center, and CoreGraphics and third-party libraries such as Alamofire, Realm, and Crashlytics.

The app was first shipped in Chile but, due to its success, it became available in Colombia, Argentina, and Peru. I was in charge of localization for every market and maintaining the code base of each project.
