Industry Experience

Software & Internet
    Weather

    Designed and built a weather application that provides 7-day weather forecasts tailored to the user’s
    location, delivering accurate and real-time weather updates.
    Leveraged RESTful API integration with Retrofit to fetch and display weather data, including
    temperature, humidity, and wind conditions etc. Adopted MVVM architecture to ensure a clear
    separation of concerns, improving code maintainability and scalability.

    Foody

    Developed a home-chef booking Android app enabling users to hire verified chefs for daily meals and
    event catering. Collaborated with a team to implement a custom quote system where chefs provide
    pricing and preparation time for user approval. Users receive multiple quotations from various chefs
    and select a chef based on the quote and ratings. Incorporated real-time order monitoring to
    improve service dependability. The app uses model view viewmodel architecture and Retrofit for
    RESTful API integration.

    SnapShare

    Created SnapShare, an Android app that makes group photo sharing effortless—without the need for
    the internet. Using Bluetooth and Nearby Connections API, it enables seamless, real-time photo
    synchronization between connected devices. Unlike traditional file-sharing apps, SnapShare
    introduces event-based syncing, users can create shared events (e.g., Niagara Trip), and any photos
    taken within that event are automatically shared across all connected devices without manual
    transfers, mimicking cloud collaboration offline. Built with RoomDB, MVI, and MediaStore, it ensures
    efficient event tracking, storage, and media management, while optimizing connectivity for
    high-speed, lag-free transfers. Published on the Play Store (closed testing).

    Quick Note

    Developed and published a note-taking app that supports two types of notes (text notes and to-do
    lists) and includes light and dark theme support for better user experience.
    Built the UI using Jetpack Compose for a modern and responsive design,ensuring adaptability across
    both mobile devices and tablets. Integrated Room Database and wrote SQL queries for inserting,
    retrieving, and managing notes efficiently. Added sorting functionality to organize notes by creation
    time and alphabetical order. Implemented Firebase Crashlytics to monitor and report app crashes,
    ensuring better stability.
