Examples of projects we’ve worked on include:

We engineered embedded firmware with OTA updates for reliable device control and contributed key features (NFC, caching, reliability) to the iOS/Android apps for seamless tap and in-app transactions. Our tech stack included Java, Swift, Flutter, and PHP/MySQL with tie in to Square for payments and customer management.
