Senior Software Engineer

Native Mobile, Device Integration & AI-Assisted Development

Software engineer since 2010, specializing in native iOS and Android applications, object-oriented architecture, custom graphics, media streaming, and Bluetooth integration. Experienced in breaking down complex requirements, identifying system constraints, and diagnosing problems through source code, communication logs, and testing.

At ThinkAR, I combine established engineering experience with AI tools to extend mobile development into smart-glasses firmware, web and desktop integrations, and local gateways, delivering proofs of concept for team and vendor validation. I lead architecture decisions, interface design, and validation while using AI to support implementation and debugging across languages and platforms.

Previous work includes custom financial charting, a restaurant floor-plan editor, UI performance improvements for large chat rooms, and modifications to a cross-platform media player. I have also helped teams working on other platforms resolve architecture, performance, and debugging challenges.

Professional experience

Feb 2025Present

ThinkAR

Senior Mobile App Engineer (iOS / Android)

Develop AiLens and SoraClip applications for connected devices, and build firmware, web and desktop integrations for product requirements and vendor evaluation.

  • AiLens — teleprompter and translation: Developed teleprompter workflows with script import, pagination, font controls and in-app previews, alongside live interpretation and two-way conversation translation. Coordinated phone/glasses interaction and text layout with firmware display constraints.
  • SoraClip — translation and AI voice assistant: Developed live language translation and AI voice assistant features with language switching, saved conversation history, original-audio recording and playback. Integrated Bluetooth audio and interchangeable AI services, handling interruptions and resource cleanup across conversation sessions.
  • Device communication architecture: Designed BLE command abstractions and an execution pipeline covering queuing, response matching, timeouts, cancellation, and error handling.
  • Cross-platform proofs of concept and vendor handoff: Built macOS/Windows local bridges and a shared web interface integrating Bluetooth control, Wi-Fi audio/video streaming, device status, and text display. Prepared executable packages and English engineering documentation for vendor testing and handoff.
  • Firmware proofs of concept: Modified smart-glasses firmware for WSS audio/video streaming and classroom caption broadcasting to multiple devices. Implemented handling for transmission congestion, frame integrity, caption ordering, and device state across application and firmware layers.
  • macOS system integration: Built AiLensUltraCamera, a virtual-camera proof of concept that connects H.264 streams from the glasses to a CoreMediaIO Camera Extension. Integrated Bluetooth connectivity and HFP audio, and produced a universal DMG with code signing and notarization.
  • Diagnostics across system layers: Instrumented connection setup as traceable stages, correlating Android state, firmware responses, and Sentry events through connection IDs. Diagnosed media/command packet parsing issues from communication logs and added regression tests.
  • Repeatable development tooling: Created macOS firmware build, version archiving, and dual-chip flashing workflows with device identity and calibration data backup/restore. Delivered a Windows flashing variant and added read-back verification and failure handling.
  • Architecture in AI-assisted development: Led the design of device, command, and transport interfaces across languages. Used interface polymorphism to share execution flows and kept platform APIs in underlying services, maintaining consistent architectural boundaries across macOS and Windows.

Wantgoo

iOS Mobile App Developer

Built the Wantgoo iOS stock-monitoring app from the ground up. Independently designed and implemented its charting core in Swift and Core Graphics for prices, trading volumes, technical indicators, and investor activity data.

  • Composable chart architecture: Separated data calculations, coordinate transforms, drawing, and chart composition through object-oriented design. Enabled candlesticks, moving averages, and other indicators to share rendering and interaction mechanisms while aligning series with different starting points on the time axis.
  • Interactive data inspection and synchronized charts: Implemented pinch zoom anchored to the gesture center, horizontal scrolling, and long-press data inspection using binary search to locate data points. Synchronized zoom, offset, and selection between price and volume charts, including view positioning after changes to the candlestick interval.
  • Viewport rendering: Generated drawing objects and adjusted the Y-axis scale for the current viewport to reduce drawing of offscreen data. Applied clipping and positioned high/low price labels to handle different zoom levels and price ranges.

Gamania Digital Entertainment

R&D Engineer

Developed features for the beanfun! iOS app, including real-time chat, activity feeds, and photo editing.

  • Developed the iOS client for chat rooms with thousands of users, addressing UI update costs under high message volumes. Structured message data, presentation, sending, and receiving through object-oriented design to support new message types.
  • Designed a photo editor with independent selection, dragging, scaling, and annotation behaviors. Also implemented activity feeds and chat tagging.
  • Supported the Android team with chat performance, custom UI, and architecture for new features; worked with teammates to identify technical constraints and practical improvements.

Masterwork Aoitek (Lollipop)

App Software Engineer

Developed and improved the architecture of the Baby Camera iOS app.

  • Rewrote the app in Swift, redesigned the database structure, and isolated third-party frameworks through design patterns. Abstracted similar camera-setting workflows to reduce duplicate implementations.
  • Modified the iOS/Android integration layers of ijkPlayer to expose video and audio frames from its C layer, then used native platform frameworks to implement recording.
  • Implemented a live timeline for large datasets and helped new engineers understand the architecture, debugging techniques, and system APIs.

Restaurant Reservation and Seating Management System (Reservation)

Primary Developer | Contract Project

Developed major application features and independently designed and implemented the restaurant floor-plan editor and seating-map display, turning venue configuration and seating workflows into an interactive iPad interface.

  • Custom floor-plan editor: Built a Core Graphics canvas with panning, pinch zoom, coordinate transforms, and grid snapping. Supported placement, dragging, 90-degree rotation, duplication, deletion, and overlap detection for tables and venue objects.
  • Extensible object-oriented design: Separated canvas rendering, drawable objects, and interaction tools through interfaces and polymorphism. Encapsulated single placement, continuous drawing, dragging, and deletion so different table types and venue objects could share common behavior.
  • Visual seating workflow: Integrated native drag and drop to assign reservations to available tables, including assignments spanning multiple tables. Displayed current and upcoming reservations, dining progress, and alerts for tables nearing or exceeding their dining time limits.
  • Configuration and state consistency: Integrated APIs to save and restore areas, table positions, orientations, and operational settings. Coordinated list and seating-map updates after actions and shared dining-progress data with the detail view to avoid inconsistent calculations across screens.
