Android

I've programmed for all sorts of Android devices, not just the usual phones and tablets. I've worked with specialised hardware like RFID scanners, smartwatches, industrial cameras, TV sticks and set-top boxes. Because I have this wide experience, I can handle projects that other mobile developers might not be able to, especially if they involve custom hardware, communicating with accessories or working with devices that have limited resources.

I focus on building working software fast, usually in a few weeks.This approach is good for proof of concepts, minimum viable products and any project where getting a working product quickly is important.

I handle the whole project from start to finish, including design, development, testing, setup and support. This means you'll have one person to deal with from the beginning to the end, instead of having to deal with different teams at different stages.
