Employment
Experience
- MiTelefe (Development)http://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 (Development)
Technical lead and main React Developer on the new website of Lionel Messi.
- CookUnity (Development)
Main iOS Dev (Freelance)
CookUnity is a chef-driven online marketplace.
My role consisted, at first, of maintaining and debugging an existing app written in Swift 2.2. After that, I worked about forty hours a month improving existing features and adding new ones for this New York-based startup.
Most of the job was coordinated using Whatsapp, email, or Slack. I had a coordinator here in Buenos Aires with whom I have weekly meetings. I like to take charge when it comes to decision-making and help improve the APIs to make the product stronger. - El Trece (Development)http://www.eltrecetv.com.ar/eltrece-se-expande
A current long-term project of mine. I'm the main iOS Developer, writing the app in Swift 1.0. I lead 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 Chile (Development)http://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. The app was written in Swift 2.2 and features livestreaming, video on demand, video pre-roll, and AdMob ads as well as live interactive content.
