• Worked in Xcode to build an iPhone app available in iTunes as Eventbrite Easy Entry. Used instruments to check for leaks, performance, and allocations. The app connects seamlessly with our API to allow organizers to “check-in” attendees to their event as they arrive. The app also synchronizes asynchronously with other iPhones running the app. iPad, barcode scanning as well.
