Experience
HSBC Online Banking Apps
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hsbc-us/id1344750175I was involved in developing the next generation of iOS banking apps and driving initiatives to make the Swift codebase scalable for deploying applications across many countries, each with its own specific market and regulatory requirements.
The following are several outstanding features of the apps that I worked on:
• Digital secure device and biometric authentication for faster log-on, confirming transactions, and generating log-on codes for online banking.
• View account balances functionality to view the balance of local and globally-linked banking, credit cards, mutual funds, and pension accounts.
• Send and receive money functionality that allows local and foreign currency transfers and bill payments.
AutoTRADER.ca App
https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/autotrader-shop-car-deals/id368660809I worked with a cross-functional team of project managers, business analysts, user interface designers, and developers. I kept the codebase up to date with the latest Apple coding standards and modularized each component to add and remove features easily. In addition, we used Firebase for remote configurations and A/B testing.
Several exciting features that I worked on include the following:
• Internal 360: An internal 360 viewer to view the inside of a vehicle. It includes features like motion tracking and pinch-to-zoom.
• A dynamic geofence and beacons: A custom algorithm to indicate when users walk onto dealer lots and determine how users spend their time when on lots.
• Compare functionality: A functionality that allows users to compare multiple vehicles. This list displays all compared vehicles' specifications side-by-side for easy comparison.
TRADER Dealer App
https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/trader-dealer/id863587074Several exciting features that I worked on include the following:
• A VIN scanner that quickly populates vehicle details, including year, make, and model.
• An offline mode that allows the user to capture vehicles offline and upload them to AutoTRADER.ca once the user is connected to the internet.
• A mobile photo capture optimizer built to help users capture, organize, and process vehicle photos and batch upload them to a back-end API.
