Resume Up-to-date

Created nine high quality android apps and games and published them under my own brand name epollomes: Reckless Stunts, Sugar Monster, Straight Penta, Balloon Flee, My Internet Status etc... (http://epollomes.com or epollomes on Google play).

I am a self taught native (Java) android developer, worked with most commonly I used components in the android SDK (Layouts, Fragments, RecyclerView, ViewPager, Broadcast receiver, Services, Animations, Maps, Play Services...) and experienced with third party libraries and APIs

Game Design

• Elaborating main ideas, identifying requirements and time resources, sketching UIs, and designing comprehensive UX with desirable gaming experience
• Designing and drawing the art for the games

Programming and Implementation (Prototype and Agile approach)

• Using Eclipse IDE with Android ADT plugin as a main tools for Android development backed with SVN Subversion as a version control system/backup tool
• Coding using AndEngine, a JAVA open source 2D game engine, and Box2D for Physics.
• Built a coding template to wrap the engine code with main functionality to speed up the implementation of the games
• Creating clean code and constantly profiling algorithms for better performance
• Staying up-to-date and compatible with Android app design guidelines
• Created a custom level editor with customizable export format (Xml, Java Code, etc…)

Testing and QC

• Creating test cases in parallel with the early design/implementation phases
• Keeping track of defects and building a library to test future projects
• Testing apps compatibility on all android API 2.3+ taking into consideration the wide fragmentation (Size & Resolution) of android devices
• Testing using real devices and 3rd party emulators: BlueStacks and Genymotion
• Running stress and performance tests, to make sure games run at high FPS, with no glitches and no memory leaks

Releasing, shipping, monetizing & publishing products

• Encrypting sensitive data and obfuscating the projects
• Application monetized via ads, and published under "epollomes" dev account on Google play, in addition published and on all possible markets to expand distribution as much as possible. Procedural steps created for an audited release.

Marketing, Promotion and Social Media

• Creating promotional images, and producing trailer videos
• Preparing press releases, contacting review websites, and managing all social media

• Worked on the GUI and Reporting Modules: GUI, Viewer, DSD and Datamart Modules in the MX.3 framework. Assigned as functional responsible for the GUI and Viewer modules
• BAU: Analyze tests, report detections, and follow up of reported issues
• Test Lead on a testing campaign for a high impact GUI project that changed the whole Startup and Navigation for the MX.3, successfully managed the test campaign, and provided support for the entire QC department while participating in testing
• Maintained and improved test packages by implementing test design and test case design using design techniques that reduces the number of cases while still maintaining efficient coverage
• Contributed in UI/UX testing and providing feedback on usability and ergonomics
• SPOC for all the QC department (>50 individuals) in GUI related issues
• Put in place the first continuous integration process at the level of the developers team, reducing the cost of testing at the Quality Control department level (later software development life cycle)
• Member of the working group to enhance the production chain and operational processes
• Member of the working group studying the feasibility of the Risk Based testing Approach (Based on Rex Black’s ISTQB approach)
• Developed automated tools making the BAU more efficient
• Supervised and trained two newcomers

Implementing a GMLC for the GSM network localization, using C under Unix

• Used the following technologies: Apache Httpd Server, XML, Shared Memory, memcached, Queuing
• Documented the project and created an impressive presentation. Click here to view the presentation
• Project scored 96 / 100 and got an excellent rating. Click here for reference
• Worked in a team of three

Worked within the Quality Assurance Team, developing JAVA Components and unit tests

• Learned Eclipse platform, Maven 2.0 Build Tool, J-Unit testing framework
• Used: XML, JAXB, AOP, Cryptography, and Java 6 Annotations

Implemented a complete software interfacing the hardware of the Vitesse VScope Chip

• Designed and Implemented a new .Net (using C#) component: a graphical grid with feature like drawing, zooming, panning and other features
• Designed and Implemented the software containing the new .NET component for displaying and analyzing "Eye patterns"
• Wrote algorithms to compute Eye parameters (Jitter, crossing, width…)

• Certified, learned new testing theories and techniques and started applying them directly

• Ranked always in the top five in the CCE years
• Graduated first of the CCE class
• Class responsible and deleguate in the final year

• Ranked always in the top three
