ABOUT
I am an iOS Mobile App Developer with a passion for innovation and cutting-edge technology.
A self-motivated quick learner, seeking an opportunity to build on my existing skills in the domain of mobile development.
I first became interested in coding when I decided to take an elective course in Object Oriented Programming when I was in the third year of my Psychology Major in University. This was arguably the best academic decision that I would make. Upon completing the course, I found myself at a crossroad. Ultimately, I decided to pivot with confidence and focus my energy to pursue a career that can provide me with an outlet to express my creativity and allow me to discover and develop my untapped potential in the forever evolving field of IT.
PROJECTS
DESCRIPTION
Effortflex is the first app that I have solely developed from beginning to end. As an avid gym goer and fitness enthusiast, I was motivated to build this app when I was searching for workout logging apps that were very simple and rudimentary in function and design. What I wanted to achieve was the freedom to name my own workouts, muscle groups, and exercises without having to choose from a limited list. I also wanted to avoid cluttering the UI, which is why I kept it neat and simple.

AW Support is an IT Support app that I am developing in order to provide a platform for business clients to submit their support tickets directly through the app, where they can also monitor the status of their requests without the need for direct contact with an IT Support Specialist. The app also contains a built-in chat feature that facilitates communication between the client and the Support Specialist.
