Plastic Logic, Cambridge, UK

Qualcomm, Cambridge - UK
Position: Mobile Learning Tech Specialist
Dates: March 2013 - now
Design and development of an iOS application to guide the user through the Qualcomm museum of San Diego in both scenarios: when on site (with the help of Bluetooth Low Energy devices to establish the positioning and propose dynamically contents) and off site. UX team provided guidelines for graphics therefore I had to code all customized widgets rather than using standard ones.
Beacons used where from Qualcomm. The museum had a particular shape therefore the signal from beacons was not regular, so I had to do a calibration app which would gather data and send me logs, so that I could fine tune the application behaviour remotely.
