Included Projects
Challenge
Rcherz needed rich mobile products for individual archers and competition communities, plus dependable scoring terminals that could keep events operating across unreliable outdoor Wi-Fi, mobile data, device restarts, and long sessions.
My Role & Ownership
Built and continue to evolve the native iPhone/iPad and Android products and the dedicated Android scoring terminal, owning long-term delivery across deep archery workflows, platform modernization, dependencies, risks, releases, and operational safeguards.

- checkDelivered a universal Objective-C iPhone/iPad product with adaptive portrait and landscape scoring and results UI, maps, cached REST data, image workflows, push behavior, and current iOS compatibility.
- checkDeveloped and modernized the main Java Android application around a large competition and results domain, current Android tooling, Firebase crash reporting, camera and location workflows, and reusable Rcherz modules.
- checkSeparated event scoring into a focused Android terminal with QR and PIN setup, target assignments, archer loading, foreground synchronization, boot recovery, wake behavior, and offline-aware result handling.
- checkCombined push and polling with command identifiers and pending-message recovery, allowing organizers to remotely start, stop, clear, load, or reassign competition devices without double execution.
