Tide Cleaners

A Locker based pick up and drop off service for Laundry and Dry Cleaning.

At Tide Cleaners, I work primarily on our consumer application (we call it Spider-Man). The Saint project started January 2018 and I was hired May 2018. Since then I have released two apps to the App Store and have launched nationwide. I actively worked on new features and fixed bugs that never show up because software always works the right way.

I specialized in building highly reusable components with our design team which are shared across features and projects. I worked closely with Design, Product Management, and our Backend teams to make decisions and execute our strategy.

Across the product suite, we use the following architecture:

• Swift
• UIKit
  • 100% programatic layouts
  • Some use of SwiftUI
• MVVM-C
  • Model, View, View Model
  • Coordinator for handling the presentation of View Controllers

🕸️ Spider-Man

Project lead. Released June 2020. About 8.5k monthly active users.

Our Primary customer facing application. In the app, users can find a locker location, place an order track it, see past orders, set preferences on soap and starch. We have started using SwiftUI in the application. We are in the phase of deprecating iOS 12 support which allows for more use. SwiftUI has sped up time with development and has allowed us to create source of truth for reusable components across the application.

🤠 Raiders

iPad point of sale and inventory management application.

Raiders is the processor for laundry. The app handles clothing inventory, in-store customer support, as well as payment processing.

On this project I own our customer profile module. This tool is used to provide in store support to the customer, view customer transaction history, issue refunds and credit, and more.

📚 MyLaundry

University Laundry replacement application. Project lead. Released August 2018.

When I joined Tide in 2018 the first task was to replace the current college application with a new one. I started in May and it had to be ready before school started. The goal is to wrap the University Laundry user base into Tide Cleaners under one application.

🛠️ SolventKit

Internal Cocoapod with simple extensions shared across the project

SolventKit is a framework I created to share resources and helpers between the Saint projects. The framework contains common date formats, extensions, and validators that we all share and rely on. I created the framework to reduce the duplicated code across our projects as well as have a single, unit-tested, source of truth.

📈 Maverick

The React Native outlier

Maverick was an idea we had for an internal tool for store owners and business shareholders to view store progress and see insights throughout the week, month, or year. I worked with our designer for about a month and we came up with a small proof of concept. Even though we did not continue with project, it was still fun and it was an opportunity to learn some new technology and apply it to our product.

Technology used

• React Native/Expo
• NodeJS and Express
  • Created a mock server that hosted JSON files
  • Original job was to have a server function run each night and update these JSON files
