Your Android Consultant!

Experienced Software Developer specializing in native Android SDK application programming. Put my excellent communication skills and passion for Android to work for YOU! (Just take a look at my 19 - 5 Star ratings and read the review comments!) I can help you with: o Taking your idea and making it reality o Coding to your design specifications o Adding new features to an existing application o Trouble-shooting existing applications I have over 20 years of professional programming experience. I left the corporate world four years ago and I'm loving freelance! I mostly work with small and startup companies, but I've also written an Android app for Microsoft. I'm currently writing a book for Packt Publishing but I have some time available for a new project. I'm committed to my profession and will be available for future updates and additions, as my track record shows!

NightSkyDev is an excellent developer, providing insightful suggestions for improving the application. This was a collaborative project, and he worked in a timely fashion. The project was also multi disciplinary, with android software, API calls and interfacing with hardware systems. Highly recommended.
