Dakota Enterprise App

This is an iOS enterprise app (b2b) targeted for iPad devices we built for a company called Dakota. The app is a product catalogue app used by company's sales representatives to showcase portfolio to stores and also for receiving products requests.

Some of the key technologies we did utilize: Objective-C, Core Dat, network programming, ftp access, strong memory optimization.

Saccaro HD/Saccaro iOS app

Saccaro HD/Saccaro was an iOS app targeted for iPad and iPhone we build for furniture design company Saccaro.

The app was coded on Objective-C and featured support for very high resolution images (up to 6K x 6K), which make it necessary to build very optimized data and visualization structures to the app behave nicely within device's memory constraints.

Flying Princess iOS game
