Mobile Development

Software Engineer - Android Mobile Apps

Amaris - Cityway France / Cityway Canada Inc | January 2016 - March 2017 | Aix-En-Provence, France

Overview

As a Software Engineering consultant at Amaris, I worked with Cityway France and Cityway Canada Inc to develop Android applications for carpooling and multimodal transportation use cases.

Key Responsibilities and Achievements

Mobile Application Development

  • Multiple Android applications development for transportation use cases
  • Developed Triplinx app and its associated flavors (e.g. Moovizy)
  • Developed FleetMe app with multiple flavors for cities such as Beauvais, Avignon and Auxerre. It was then released as Wopé for the city of Le Tampon/Saint Pierre, Réunion
