About
Sr. Software Engineer/Manager experienced in all aspects of the software development

various embedded and mobile products and wireless biometrics.
Most recently, I was working on an embedded Android App for Shift4 Payments. This
was Harbortouch POS (now ™SkyTab POS). As featured on the Reality TV show, “Bar
Rescue”, with Jon Taffer. I was part of a special team that was responsible for “quick

work and feature additions. As a Dev, I also supported Product, QA and BI, before during
and after a project, as well as providing code reviews on merge requests.
