I develop for the iOS platform and have a background in customer service. My passion for people and learning inspires me to pursue the collaborative creation of valuable software. Programming allows me to participate in the most exciting industry there is. Creating software with others, on a team, is something I love to do. It improves my thinking and creativity, while giving me a myriad of paths for growth.

Projects
Seattle Trails, 2016 (Civic open source project)
This started at the AT&T App Parks And Recreation Hackathon. The app my team and I built uses the Socrata Open Data API to get the trails data for Seattle parks and make it visually available on a map view in an iOS app.
My team is currently expanding it, in collaboration with Seattle Parks & Recreation, to be the official app for the Seattle parks and trails. Currently, this app can allow you to search for trails and parks, see accessibility information about paths, report issues about the parks only if inside of one (determined via geolocation), and share your park experiences on social media. GitHub: https://github.com/Seattle-Trails-Crew/Seattle-Trails
(Swift, Map Kit, Message UI, Social Framework, Xcode, Git, Socrata Open Data REST API)
Film Camp, 2016 (Client project submitted to the App Store)
Film Camp allows people to produce short videos with ease. By implementing pre-editing through constraints, a user can focus on capturing a story. I was the sole developer, on a team of 4, for this project. We tested this with users and adapted the software with their feedback over the course of 6 months. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjePY40n5dg. App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id1085805260
(Swift, Photos, AVFoundation, Social Framework, Swifty Dropbox, Cocoa Pods, Xcode, Git)
Education
Code Fellows, Seattle, WA | iOS Development | 2015
Completed an intensive iOS Development Accelerator. Created an app each week from scratch. Two were collaborative projects slated for the App Store. The Projects section of this resume outlines a couple of them and I’ve written more more about it here: http://www.ericmentele.com/blog/embracing-the-struggle
Code Fellows exists to provide people from diverse backgrounds with the skills necessary to be valuable in the tech industry. This program provided me with a great overview of Apple frameworks and the skills to find solutions to technical problems. The experience of collaborating on a team to make software was invaluable.
