To expand the current product offering of grocery delivery the company wanted to provide customers with a "shop-and-collect" experience where customers could order
online and pick up their products after an hour or two at the store.
Andrew and team had to build an entirely new experience from the store perspective
adding in new workflows to the app for picking products and storing them in a staging
area, and collecting the bagged products from the staging area when customers
arrived at the store and run them out to their cars.
Andrew's main role was on the iOS app building out new workflows and give store
managers insight into the status of current orders and activity in their store, but he also
stepped in to support the product manager and helped define and scope the work
required by the team.
The result was unlocking a new, huge revenue stream for the company and its partners while keeping the user experience really simple and easy to follow.

The iOS app was previously distributed via a custom built enterprise certificate solution and to enable a better onboarding experience, growth and improved security the team
decided to migrate and distribute via the App Store.
This was not a simple task as the entire deployment infrastructure had to be modified to allow deploying not just to the App Store but also support legacy users via enterprise
distribution, and on top of that support automated and quality control testing.
Andrew took on this work and reworked the existing continuous integration and delivery systems to support all these new options. Rewriting all deploy scripts,
migrating to fastlane and a new CI/CD provider and enabling several pipelines.

Andrew was tasked to take several distributed systems, accessed as webpages, and make them a core component in the iOS app.
The work meant re-architecting the core part of the app to enable a completely new
interface and language (Swift) side by side with an older architecture and language
(Obj-C), with as little impact on existing code to avoid any issues.
This project also meant a lot of server communication, smart caching, working with map
frameworks to decode GeoJSON and display hotspot shapes, routing and ETA
information on a map.

Andrew worked on the team responsible for how Spotify looks and works while used
within a car, an area which touches many millions of users and is very important to
Spotify. The role was broad from working hands-on with code and working with designers improving the in-car experience, to building out completely new features within the Spotify app, setting architecture and design patterns for the team. The work
had many other aspects to it as being the sole iOS engineer for an extended period of
time and mentoring junior engineers teaching them design patterns and engineering
principles.
