Mextures
Mextures is an iPhone app that allows users to easily apply the amazing textures created by Merek Davis to photos taken with their iPhones. With different mextures formulas, users can create unlimited effects and turn everyday snapshots into dramatic photographs. Formulas can be saved and shared with other users, as well.
I developed a super fast "FilterPipeline" to quickly layer, blend, and rotate the texture images using a combination of CoreGraphics and GPUImage. The app also integrates with many third-party systems for tracking usage, errors, and persisting data.

Vellum
Vellum features beautiful free wallpapers for the iPhone. There are hundreds of wallpapers included in the app, including regularly updated limited edition packs.
The app was build in swift and uses Firebase to manage storage, database, analytics, and push notifications. The UI is built with SnapKit and leverages the power of MVVM and observables via Snail.

Lumo
Lumo allows everyone to share their best photos extremely quickly and easily. No complicated settings or configurations. Just a simple upload, and the rest is taken care of automatically.
I collaborated with Drew Wilson on API and network development to keep the app in sync with the server. I also contributed updates to SVHTTPRequest to add upload progress, and developed the In-App-Purchases system allowing users to buy additional storage and themes.

MY KU
MY KU is a fun web app that allows users to write and share haikus. Each "poet" a.k.a user user has a personal page that allows them to proudly show off the haikus they create.
I needed to create a custom "syllable engine" to count the syllables and detect whether the submitted writings followed the proper haiku format. The rest of the site is built on Rails with Devise for user authentication and tracking.

LOL Flix
lolflix is like iTunes for stand-up comedy videos. It features dozens and dozens of comics from around the world in full-length performances that fans can purchase for download or rent to stream.
Using Ruby on Rails, I developed the eCommerce system, with expiring token authentication, video sales auditing and reporting, and worked with the server admin to optimize the download and streaming system.

Snail 🐌
Snail is an observables framework for swift. It was created as a simple alternative to frameworks like RxSwift and ReactiveCocoa.
This is massively useful for writing reactive applications without having to poll or check for changes.
