I've worked on modifying the core Android OS, its system level services and features. I've also worked on the consumer facing apps that run exclusively on the tablets such as a custom version of the Android Launcher, the Android Out of box experience, and various other user experience elements . My experience with tablets include developing and launching 4 Android tablets from their inception to release. These include Kobo Arc, Kobo Arc 7, Kobo Arc HD Kobo Arc 10 HD. Recently, I've taken on the challenge of also working on the iOS team at Kobo and working on their iOS app. From March 2012 to November 2014 (2 years 9 months) Partner / Engineer @ Partner & Engineer at Chi Pow Chat. My responsibilities include building and architecting the entire solution. iOS, Android, & backend in Node.js running on RethinkDB. A complete end to end solution in MEAN & a full stateless API in Node.js. One of the greatest challenges I overcame building Chi Pow Chat was to maintain a low latency from China to North America. Chi Pow Chat was built specifically for Recorded Voice Chat. Leave her messages tonight, she gets them first thing in the morning! International time zones disappear with Recorded Voice Chat. Let the power of her voice win you over. We personally meet and interview each woman on Chi Pow Chat. If she is sincere about chatting and meeting North American men we choose her for an exclusive photo and video shoot. With the Chi Pow Chat App you can see and hear her and know it’s the real woman you’re speaking with. From October 2013 to October 2014 (1 year 1 month) CTO & Co-Founder @ As the CTO of MatchFuel (formerly AndSpot) a Appstore and Game centre for Android, I have implemented the entire technology stack, from the highly scalable infrastructure and architecture to the Android client (using Nginx, ColdFusion and Java among other technologies). MatchFuel was in the Extreme University incubator program. Examples of some sub-projects I have built for MatchFuel • An API less drm technology that injects byecode into apks to provide DRM protection. • Gaming technology that tracks gameplay without an SDKS installed into the game. • Game recommendation engine that uses various factors of a users behavior to predict new android games for him/her. Unfortunately, such is life. Startups succeed and fail, and mine did the latter. Currently working on my next one so be on the lookout for that!
