Entelect

I played a role in preparing the app for Swift compatibility and took on other tasks that improved the architecture of our code base as it grew. I also mentored other developers in the adoption of the Swift programming language as well as the usage of more advanced development practices suited for large, complex applications.

I encouraged the growth of the iOS development skills at Entelect by creating an internal iOS learning course for other employees and presenting iOS development workshops for teams based at other clients to help them get started.

I worked to improve our development environment by writing build and deployment scripts as well as setting up Continuous Integration through Atlassian Bamboo.
