Portfolio

Guapp

A delivery platform where users can order from markets, restaurants, pharmacies, and other store categories. It utilizes Google Maps for location features and has an intuitive design that appeals to the younger market.I have led the software development team in this project, managing at most 10 people comprised of Android, iOS, and web developers, as well as QA engineers and business analysts. We have used Firebase for the authentication, database, hosting, and analytics. We have also used Stripe for the payments.I have also led the development of the Android app utilizing Kotlin. I have used the MVVMC architecture using Conductor for the controller and navigation stack, Dagger for dependency injection, Kotlin Coroutines for multi-threading, and Android architecture components such as ViewModel and LiveData.

Tarjemle | Translation Services

I led the development of this platform for translators. With agile practices already in place, I planned the architecture and development schedule of multiple web portals and Android and iOS applications, as well as landing pages and back-end servers. I also personally developed the Android application for customers and translators here, wherein they can have documents analyzed and have words automatically counted. Translators can accept and decline tasks. Both the customers and translators can coordinate with account managers for the tasks and results through the chat module (that we developed). We used Firebase Firestore for the applications' back end.

Pulire | Shoe Cleaning Service

Pulire is a service to have all kinds of shoes cleaned. It has a menu for the services you can avail of and where you'd like the shoes picked up and delivered. It has a partner app for its couriers, which I also developed. I collaborated with a team I have handpicked to create a working, commercial system complete with an admin portal.The customer can create an order to upload pictures of a pair of shoes that need servicing and the specific services he wants. After the shop's couriers are notified and accept the pickup request, the app gives them the customer's location. The couriers then collect the items and payments. Once the shoes have arrived at the store, an admin monitors the cleaning process, prompts user updates, and users get notified through push notification. After the service is completed, the shoes will be delivered back to the customer.

PharmacyDirect | A Medicine Delivery System

With one of my developer friends, we created a suite of applications for a company that delivers medicine to people in South Africa. I created the client and the delivery personnel applications. The client application allows users to upload prescriptions and update them about concerning their deliveries, which are automatically managed by the system. It also shows them the current location of the personnel that is delivering the medicine. For the delivery personnel app, it was designed to give the users notifications when a delivery is assigned to them as well as show the location of the client.

BaryaCard | Financial App

This app is a financial app that aims to help Filipinos save money when buying from convenience stores, food stands, etc. Instead of getting the coin change right then and there, they can choose to have it deposited into their BaryaCard account. Currently, two companies have partnered with BaryaCard so that they can offer the services within the app and be part of the profit-sharing model that my clients have envisioned.

InkMyPapers | Assignment Help

InkMyPapers is a service where students can ask for help on their essays, dissertations or presentations. I created and managed a team that will develop a multitude of apps where I developed the Android app myself.

Shawer App | eLaw App

Shawer is an eLaw application that connects lawyers with potential clients. It is an online legal services marketplace connecting consumers and lawyers across the region. Shawer app is not a law firm in of itself and doesn’t provide any legal services; it merely facilitates the connection of lawyers and clients. Shawer users can purchase in-app currency via the Google Play and the Apple App Store and after purchase can access the available services of various lawyers and services ranging from consultations to legal representation in court.

DURA LEX | Social Italian and European Law Application

DURA LEX is a new kind of application that aims to bring social functions to a repository of Italian and European laws. It will also have powerful searching capabilities that enable users to search for resolutions and judgments to legal court cases. Currently, it is in development.

Appily | A Journal App with a Personality Analysis

I developed a journal app that has an automatic data synchronization with the back end, a Google Drive backup, a personality analysis, and a customized feedback logic. It was also implemented with Material Design so that it is compatible up to API 15.

Paloma Forum App

This project allows employees of an existing company to communicate and share information through a mobile app. The user can enter posts, categorize, send files, and collaborate on forum postings and edit material.

MyWapBlog.com

This is a blogging app that I made for an existing blogging platform. All the designs were made by the designer and I implemented them pixel by pixel. Aside from the features shown in the video, it also has push notifications for news, reminders, and more.

GetHabal

The app functions like Uber but caters to motorcycle drivers in the Philippines. The app shows the location, creates routes and maps, and lets users see the estimated arrival time and duration to gauge travel properly. The app allows drivers to receive bookings and track their history of travel.

NFTApp

An app focusing on delivering analytics on NFTs based on different sources such as Icy.tools, NFTPort, and others. I collected data and created an attractive UI for displaying data on charts and bar charts. I also provided predictions for proper NFT staking, buying, and selling.
