1099 Contractor for Marriott.com

Mar, 2022 to Jan, 2024

Senior Mobile App Developer

• Applied and mixed Swiftui & Swift language in the Bonvoy application.
• Worked on the Kotlin Android app module, assisting with the Most Valuable Promotion feature by integrating Chase API and American Express. This integration displayed ads in 8 locations throughout the app and prefilled the applications with Marriott API data, such as name, address, phone number, and other details, to make the credit card application process more seamless.
• Working on a feature to automatically add approved credit cards, along with an Instant Credit feature, to the user's account profile for use in checking out room rentals for reservations.
• The Android app utilized GraphQL, while the iOS App still utilized Restful APIs in Swift. We are in the process of migrating to GraphQL in the SwiftUI version, which is yet to be released in the Apple App Store.
• Worked on Accessibility Labels and Hints for the booking feature in a newer SwiftUI application, specifically designed for disabled users. Implemented various code snippets in Swift to enhance accessibility in the application:
  • Utilized the "accessibilityLabel" function to add descriptive labels to views, allowing users to understand their contents effectively.
  • Employed the "accessibilityInputLabels" function to set alternate input labels that helped users identify and interact with specific views appropriately.
  • Implemented the "accessibilityLabeledPair" function to pair accessibility elements representing labels with corresponding elements for matching content, improving the overall accessibility experience.
• We followed typical Scrum ceremonies, including sprint planning, sprint grooming on tickets, and a QA process to validate ticket completion.
• Added the GraphQL plugin to Android Studio and synced web API updates.

The Five Network

Nov, 2021 to Mar, 2022

Senior React Native, Swift, and Kotlin Developer

• I've provided assistance for three distinct applications using Swift, Kotlin/Java, and React Native. Additionally, I took over a project entirely written in Java and successfully transformed it, resulting in a composition of 55% Kotlin and 45% Java.
• The Swift application leveraged Fastlane to integrate with the ModelView-Controller (MVC) architecture, facilitating the creation of files and folders while managing data flow using Codable and Decodable for parsing data models. It was constructed based on the JSON responses.
• The Android codebase is structured using the MVVM pattern and integrates with Jenkins for continuous integration.
• I configured GitHub actions to incorporate Swiftlint, Klit, and Bitrise into the workflow. Bitrise was specifically utilized for React Native development.
• The GitHub Actions configured for Swiftlint perform rigorous rule checks on iOS pull requests before they can proceed to human review.
• Conducted routine code reviews to maintain a high standard of code quality.
• Review the established objectives and key results, and then discuss your experiences with the entire department.
• Coordinate our team meetings and team-building activities with a structured Scrum approach, encompassing sprint planning and sprint grooming. We utilize a "parking lot" for discussions and embrace a collaborative "popcorn" approach during our daily stand -up meetings. Our code and third-party libraries are diligently documented within Confluence. Furthermore, we have enhanced the organization and cleanliness of our Android, iOS, and React Native codebases, thus significantly improving readability, scalability, and project efficiency.
• I conducted research and implemented Apple's latest feature to enhance the vibrancy of this app. Thanks to stringent code control measures, we maintained an average crash rate of less than 0.4%.
