xcli is a command-line tool, designed to seamlessly interact with the Lightspeed REST & Graphql APIs. It’s meant for Support for custom reports, data remediation, reduction and resolution of Product bugs, and bulk admin tasks. Upon my assumption of the project's maintenance, the tool was widely utilized but plagued with numerous bugs and frequent breakdowns. Having been neglected for over two years, it became a source of frustration within the team.

My Contributions:

Overhauled much of the codebase, refactoring and rewriting a very significant portion of the code. My contributions account for over 6k lines of code (70% of the project). Additions included numerous bug fixes, error and log reporting to raygun, and several new features. The tool is now more reliable, efficient, and user-friendly than ever before.

Description:

This project introduces an alternative login method for accessing the Vend iOS register. Traditionally, troubleshooting the register required Support to obtain login credentials from retailers, leading to delays and occasional discomfort in sharing passwords in plaintext. Some retailers were also hesitant to create a user account.

My Contributions:

To streamline troubleshooting and enhance security, I implemented a pathway in the register enabling users to log in using a personal token. Now, with simulator usage or universal control, users can efficiently generate a token in the Backend and input it directly into the register, significantly reducing troubleshooting time and improving security.

In order to implement this, I thoroughly studied the app’s architecture and authentication process. My addition utilizes the MVC design pattern and showcases many idiosyncratic swift features such as protocols and delegates.

I was gifted an older Fitbit device, the Versa, and dissatisfied with existing options for clock faces, I crafted my own unique design from the ground up. Inspired by the aesthetics of 80s sci-fi user interfaces, I selected colors, designed layout and built functionality.

My Contributions:

Used Fitbit's guides and their IDE this clock features battery life indicators, displays the day of the week, calories burned, current heart rate, the number of daily steps, and of course a clock which supports 12h or 24h modes.

Sometimes you just got to do something nice for Dad. Similar code and functionality of the 80s clock app above, but has an analog clock face for an added challenge. The minute clock ticks change color for added visibility.
