Guardian News and Media
I worked with the apps team at Guardian News and Media on two separate occasions in 2019 on the award-winning Guardian Live News app. Some of my responsibilities included:
- Leading the integration of a 3rd-party video advertising SDK with support for Google Ad Manager
- Integrating a YouTube video player with support for Google Ad Manager
- Integrating a marketing SDK for native, in-app messages
- Development of a native consent management platform and contributing to an open-source project
- Improving scrolling performance by over 25%
- Refactoring complex parts of the codebase for increased legibility, maintainability and testability
- Peer code reviews
- Pair programming
My fluency in both Objective-C and Swift and working in legacy codebases was critical to my success in this project.
