Work Experience

iOS and AI Developer

2024 - 2024

  • Developed a machine learning model and applied it to an iOS app to detect tree shades in large crop images. After that, I applied linear regressions to predict the expected yield of the crops for the farmers and industries involved.
  • Used Trello for task management and GitHub with integrated CI/CD for pipelining deliverables and code management.
  • Developed the machine learning model and trained it with the dataset given. This process gave me an accuracy of +97% when detecting tree shades.

Senior iOS Developer

2019 - 2020
Vidit
  • Implemented ARKit and RealityKit combined with camera tracking, real-world tracking, and image scanning to detect images created by other users. By doing so, I could place a 3D model or a video on a real-world surface.
  • Re-developed the app and separated colossal classes into smaller components that could be closed for change but open for extension. I designed the architecture using a whole system perspective.
  • Re-organized the launch process so I could finish with the last details and bugs on the latest release while others could still work on the features for the following releases. Our production rate increased to uploading a new version every week.
