Mainly the family/group management aspects as well as fun features like comments, video invites, and event themes. At CURAGO I maintained and built features for the iOS application along with one other iOS developer. During my time there the majority of my work was fixing issues with the existing application to build a stable and easy to use application, while also porting the Objective-C code to Swift where necessary. Some of the major features/most fun features I implemented were video editing, to-do lists, iCal Calendar/Event Import, and contacts management. These allowed me to stretch my creative muscles as a developer and also allowed me to learn a lot more about some of the core Apple APIs. My goal for my time at CURAGO was to learn as much as possible and leave the application much better than it was before. I accomplished that goal with the help of my team and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. ### iOS Developer @ Ready Rosie Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 | Denton, TX Ready Rosie is an early education tool that helps families, schools and communities across the nation deepen and scale their family engagement efforts.
