12+ YEARS OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT EXPERIENCE | MOBILE, WEB & BACKEND I am an experienced software developer specializing in mobile application development, with 12+ years of experience working with clients and teams across the United States, Australia, South Korea, Japan, China, and other international markets. I've worked across the full development lifecycle—from planning and architecture to development, testing, deployment, app-store submission, and ongoing maintenance. I've also worked on projects for large-scale businesses, including a project for one of Japan's top e-commerce companies. One of my greatest strengths is adaptability. I can quickly understand unfamiliar technologies, existing codebases, and business requirements, allowing me to become productive with new technologies and projects without extensive hand-holding. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📱 MOBILE DEVELOPMENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Native: • Android — Java, Kotlin • iOS — Swift, Objective-C • Android SDK / iOS SDK Cross-Platform / Hybrid: • Flutter / Dart • Ionic / Angular • Capacitor • Cordova • React Native • Xamarin Mobile Technologies & APIs: • Firebase / Firestore • Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) • Google APIs • Mapbox • Push Notifications • Barcode & QR Code Scanning • REST APIs • WebSockets • Location & Mapping Services • Camera & Media Integration • App Store / Google Play deployment and publishing ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌐 WEB DEVELOPMENT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Frontend: • Angular • React.js • JavaScript • TypeScript • HTML / CSS Backend / Server-side: • Node.js • Laravel / PHP • REST API Development • WebSockets ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ☁️ BACKEND, CLOUD & DATABASE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • AWS / DevOps • Firebase / Firestore • MySQL • Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) • API Architecture & Integration • Cloud-based Application Infrastructure • Third-party API Integration • Authentication & Push Notification Infrastructure ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎨 BRAND & PRODUCT NAMING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ In addition to software development, I have a strong interest and real-world experience in brand and product naming, particularly for technology products, startups, and mobile applications. Real-world naming: 8CHAIN — Proposed the name while working as part of a startup team. The name was selected by the team and became the company's brand. Dala/Get — Currently developing a local food and service delivery platform. The name combines "Dala", meaning "bring", with "Get", representing the customer receiving the order. It also has a connection to the local identity of Dalaguete. Selected naming concepts: AL — Delivery platform concept built around treating the delivery service like a person: "I need AL" and "AL delivers." CaBayan — Café concept combining "Cafe" and "Bayan", with the visual treatment emphasizing the Filipino/community connection. BizNest — Business operations platform concept using "Nest" as a place where a business operates and grows. Made For Trade — Industrial/business platform concept built around the phrase itself and its connection to commercial activity. Perfectum — Industrial software platform concept intended to sound like an established, international brand rather than a typical technical software product. I enjoy developing names that are not only memorable, but also have a reason or concept behind them. I consider things such as brand personality, pronunciation, cultural context, scalability, and how customers will actually use the name. My software development background also gives me a different perspective when naming technology products because I understand the products, users, and business concepts behind them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⭐ WHY WORK WITH ME ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • 12+ years of software development experience • Strong specialization in mobile application development • Native Android and iOS experience • Extensive cross-platform development experience • Full-stack development capabilities • Experience with international clients and projects • Experience working with complex APIs and third-party services • Experience publishing and maintaining applications on Google Play and the Apple App Store • Experience working with existing and legacy codebases • Fast learner and highly adaptable to new technologies • Able to work independently or as part of an established development team • Strong understanding of both technical and business requirements If you have an existing application, a new product idea, or a technology problem that needs solving, feel free to reach out.
