Employment
Experience
- CookUnityhttp://www.cookunity.com
CookUnity is a chef-driven online marketplace.
I worked as a contractor for CookUnity for 3 years followed for two years as the CTO.
In my time there, I went from coding an iOS app to hiring 15+ Devs, QA, etc. with whom we built most the application from scratch, based in Node.js, GraphQL, and React. - MiTelefehttp://telefe.com/mi-telefe/
MiTelefe is the mobile application of the network channel Telefe (Viacom) in Argentina.
My role consisted of the following:
TECHNICAL LEAD
I had to take action and decide how a new feature/requirement would be laid out so that we could use existing architecture at a maximum and re-utilize our existing codebase to sprint as fast and solid as possible
iOS TEAM LEAD
I designed and coded the architecture for how was the app going to be laid out, giving different tasks to each of the devs and helping where needed.
The app was written in Swift 2.2, already migrated to Swift 3.0. Used Cocoapods and a series of in-house frameworks used for live interactive content and connection to our back end. Livestreaming is provided by Akamai with auth tokens, video pre-roll using Google's IMA, and AdMob ads between content. VOD streaming in HLS. - Messi Official App

A current long-term project of mine. I'm the main iOS Developer, writing the app in Swift 1.0. I led most of the technical tasks for the app while the CTO handles the back end. Over the course of the past two years, I've analyzed new requirements and features, made time estimations, and coded the new features as well as managing someone from my team to fix bugs and help develop new features.
- TVN – Televisión Nacional de Chilehttp://www.tvn.cl/especiales/app/
An app for channel TVN in Chile. My job consisted of analyzing requirements, making time estimates for the client, coordinating with the design team, and syncing up with the back-end team afterwards.
