Slide Rule SoftwareLead Programmer

2015 — 2018

Glass Planner is an iOS calendar and planning app. Created an experimental version of the app using ClojureScript and React Native using a statecharts library I implemented in ClojureScript to control the user interface. Later took over the existing Objective-C application and prepared it to sync across the user's devices. This required a great deal of refactoring and writing substantial new code in Swift in a functional style.
