Getting Started with Android

My passion lies with working with startups and entrepreneurs, helping them go from the initial planning phase to that critical first publicly available build and beyond.  Along the way, I take ownership of the technical requirements and allow you, the entrepreneur, to shape your business in a way you see fit.

I am able to assist you with prototyping your application for initial funding rounds as well as delivering production-level  solutions. 

We'll kick things off with a free, 30 minute video chat to get clarity on your requirements and see whether there is a need for my services and expertise.

Developer

Working with C# (Xamarin), Scala, Android (Java), OpenGL, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, Ractive.js and a touch of Swift on iOS.

Check out www.estalea.com and www.doozie.com for more about the company.

On Doozie, I worked as the lead Android developer, building a native video capture and augmentation application. By using low-level API's, I was able to capture video live and apply different filters and effects. An added bonus is the ability to pause and resume recording, from Android 4.4 and up.

One project was built on Xamarin technology, with a shared common layer between the iOS and Android clients. I was mainly involved with the Xamarin Android effort.

Most of the backend API's are written in Scala and I had to write many services required for the mobile clients as well. The admin console is a Scala Play application, relying heavily on Ractive.js for the templating.

At Estalea, each team member picks up whatever task needs doing. As an example, I ended up porting comments from MySQL

Lead Researcher

Aside from coining eye-rolling jokes, whipping up a decent cup of coffee, and failing gloriously at gardening, I specialise in crafting bespoke software solutions for those who march to their own beat. Imagine a mix of Go,  Dart, TypeScript, JavaScript, some Zig/C web assembly modules, and the occasional "oh boy...". Startups are my playground, and it's a blast!

My mission? Keeping the spice flowing, no matter what hurdles come our way. I'm pretty tech-agnostic, ready to use whatever gets the job done. While I don't have a knack for artistic websites, I do love stretching budgets to the max, particularly in the realm of web applications.

As I'm often the entire development team in a startup, I'm comfortable handling things like deployment, security, database configuration and management and even report writing.  I prefer working with a good designer and analyst to get the best results, as I've found a small, highly capable team can deliver fantastic results.
