Description: The Washington Post is a leading daily National newspaper in the US. Working as a core team player has further sharpened my skills with reactive app development, collaboration, Core Java, APIs, Web-Services and has driven me to learn a new OOP language, Kotlin.

Role & Responsibilities:

• This news app had to be completely re-organized and architectured for a better UI and a performance and my responsibilities included the below:
• Integration of MOAT library for analysis of Ad display: MOAT is the latest standard for ad display statistics. Technically this required good knowledge of gradle, integrating a third party library and to quickly jump on board with the APIs offered by them, to incorporate them in the right way. MOAT helps companies to give a fool-proof ad display statistics to their clients and was hence a high visibility task assigned to me, which I completed on time and exceeded expectations.
• Swipe to delete feature: Implemented swipe-to-delete feature for saved articles. The task was to imitate gmail's right-to-left swipe to display the option to delete an article from the list. This job involved a good understanding of UI specs and crisp on-point coding for the feature.
• Coding the feature to save favorite articles: This feature allows users to favorite an article as they browse through a host of sections each containing many articles. This demanded in-depth knowledge of Rx Java, as the list had to be populated very reactively, and listed when the user visited the new section of "Favorite articles".
• Moving less important activities to Kotlin: Some parts of the project were moved to Kotlin and it involved learning a new language quickly and writing small pieces of code to migrate from Java on selected portions.
• Introducing Recently viewed sections: This feature included keeping track of user activity on the app and retaining latest 5 sections that the user visited. It was a straight-forward requirement which I was able to quickly take this to completion because of my clear knowledge of persistent storage features of Android.
• General involvement in making this re-org a success: A huge change of architecture in an app requires a lot of effort from all team members - especially main players. I involved myself and stayed tuned during planning, code clean -up, suggestions and discussions.
• Was solely responsible for moving a section of the newspaper from using config to using API endpoints. This requirement involved changing the way we fetched data for the app for a particular section. It involved a deep understanding of current working and the new requirement. This was an assignment that was very critical and visible. I successfully coded the requirement starting with a document for API endpoint specs. My in-depth understanding of how Web Services and APIs work, helped me finish this task without glitches.
• As a sub-task I moved the network handling from Volley to Retrofit.
• Worked on Localization of strings as part of White labeling: This was a small assignment which involved knowledge of resource management in Android. The aim was to include Spanish support for a client.
• General assignments: Apart from the specific tasks and features, I have successfully helped in the smooth running of the app with closing bug tickets, production issues and QA issues. This required knowledge of the app's working, good hold of Android, UI and ability to provide quick and good solutions.
• Other tools involved: JIRA for task tracking and QA tickets, Slack for general communication and information, fully Agile development, Jenkins for builds, HockeyApp for executable management and offering QA builds and Github and Gitflow for code collaboration and organization. IDE: Android Studio.

• The app picks up orders from restaurants and does a location-based search on delivery agents within 10 miles radius.
• The app has pass-the-buck feature where if one delivery agent fails to respond, or if the agent’s geo-location doesn’t get changed in 3 minutes, the next best delivery agent is chose.
• The admin module lets restaurant chains to connect with the Agent teams.
• Push notifications are sent to maintain order details communication.
• Parse is used for cloud storage and push. Extensive use of the javascript sdk for Push notifications. 

• 2 Modes: (Driver Mode – for limousine drivers) (Rider Mode – for passengers seeking a limo ride).
• Passengers can sign-in once using PayPal and consent to future payments for rides.
• Automatically find passenger’s pickup location. Passenger inputs custom destination address  or place (Google Places AutoComplete provides interpretive suggestions).
• Drivers can “Go Online” and wait for passengers requesting rides within their area.
• Rides are requested from drivers based on distance from passenger. Drivers have 10 seconds to decide whether or not they want to “ACCEPT” the ride.
• Drivers can navigate to passenger for pickup, to final destination, or call the passenger directly.
• Passenger can call their driver once they have accepted the ride or cancel the ride prior to pickup.
• Display Driver ETA, Destination ETA, Fare Cost, Pickup/Dropoff addresses on map, location updates

• Contributed to the full lifecycle development of the application.
• Used Photoshop, draw9patch, and Illustrator to create UI graphics and resources
• Used Google Places API (JSON) for AutoComplete TextView to offer suggestions to passenger.
