Experience

DekaMarkt

DekaMarkt is a supermarket application for a supermarket chain based in the Netherlands. The app provides users with the ability to order their products from the comfort of their home.

During a shopping trip an user can use hid phone to shop and pay for the products he needs

Dirk

Dirk is another Dutch supermarket app that I've got the chance to work on. Since Dirk and DekaMarkt are brands owned by the same company mother the app inherits a lot of functionality from the later including the self-scanning during a shopping trip.

Hoogvliet

https://itunes.apple.com/app/hoogvliet-supermarkten/id1170533118?mt=8
Hoogvliet is yet another supermarket application where I was the lead developer. The app allows users to browse the full supermarket catalog, create personal shopping lists which they can pay for, and have them delivered at the front door.

Vogels in Nederland

Vogels in Nederland (Birds in the Netherlands) is an app that provides the user with a lot of information about the most common bird species in the Netherlands.

In a handy overview, the user can see all data for the selected bird, and she can make notes about her observations, record the location, and share these observations with other users of the app! She can also listen to how the bird sounds.

Featuring a 4 steps filter, the app allows the user to quickly identify a bird by describing general features of the bird in question.
