Pocket GemsSoftware Engineer

2012 — 2014

San Francisco

As a part of Pocket Gems I have worked on iOS and Android titles. I have been a part of Paradise Cove ( iOS ), Animal Voyage (Android) and Epic Empire (Android) teams. Paradise Cove has consistently been in the Top 20 grossing list of the Apple App Store for more than an year and is Pocket Gems' most profitable product.

Apart from working on various game features I played a pivotal role in making a year old product support localization. I later helped other game teams integrate the tech and we saw a successful launch of Animal Voyage in 7 languages which was a great feat for the company.

As a part of Android team I have worked with Engineers from Pocket Gems and Apportable in porting Animal Voyage and Epic Empire to Android. My role mostly revolved around ensuring we have similar functionality in both platforms, working on performance issues and integrating Google Play Services.
