Project history

12/2016 - Present
CEO
Chat SDK (Internet and Information Technology, < 10 employees)

I created a fully functional real time messenger application for iOS and Android with server integration and a multitude of add-on features. The project is open source, and the base program is free. The extra modules are paid, meaning the user can select which components he/she wants to pay for. In addition, the app can be integrated into other apps, and the data is entirely controlled by each version's owner, as well as there being an encryption module.

12/2013 - Present
CEO
ChatCat (Internet and Information Technology, < 10 employees)

I developed an abridged real-time messenger for iOS - the code supports social login via Facebook, Twitter, public and private chats and search.
