Redbox Mobile
Application Developer, June 2018 - Current
At Redbox Mobile, I am the sole developer working on the Redbox Toolbox app for iOS and macOS (Catalyst). Despite being the only iOS developer, I feed into a wider development team who work on the company’s main product - Redbox Platform.
I have been employed here since leaving college in 2018 and was initially hired as an account manager. Whilst in this role, I created an app to automate elements of my role until working on this app became a full time task shortly after.
The Redbox Toolbox app is built using Xcode and Swift. The technologies used in the app includes UIKit, SwiftUI, Cocoapods, Auto Layout, Storyboards and Swift Package Manager.
Independent Developer
iOS Developer, January 2016 - Current
I started learning iOS development in October 2015 and released my first app on the App Store in January 2016. I released my first app - AllergyMe - after realising others could benefit from the app I had created for myself. Shortly after releasing it, I picked up media attention from my local BBC News channel and newspaper.
Since then, I have built apps on Apple platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS and tvOS using Swift. I also developed a few apps for Android using Java too.
Currently, I have a number of apps in development that I work on when I get the chance - my most well known being Shift Keyboard.
