Scott Quintana

Software Engineer · Drummer/Producer


I’m a curious person by nature, combined with a love of being creative, and a love for solving problems.


I currently reside in Portland, Oregon, working full time on mobile development projects. Prior to living in the Pacific Northwest, I was living in Nashville, maintaining career in music, touring full time with artists such as Kacey Musgraves, Charlie Worsham, Kree Harrison and several others. I have always loved working with computers though. My grandma was a COBOL programmer when I was young, and that early exposure to the tech world eventually lead to me being a web developer for most of my high school years.


The day to day tasks of my two career paths may differ quite a bit, they both really come down to working with a team to create something great, and situations like those are where I feel I’m at my best.

Cart Flow was created to make grocery shopping more efficient, especially during the challenges of the COVID era. Designed with convenience in mind, the app allows you to add custom items to your shopping list and assign each product to its corresponding aisle. By organizing items by aisle, you can navigate the store more efficiently, saving time and minimizing your trip duration. Cart Flow leverages Core Data for robust data management and Diffable Data Sources for seamless list updates.

Active Dispatch

Role: Developer & designer


Active Dispatch connects you to the Metro Nashville Police Department via their public API and displays all active police calls. The active calls are viewable in a list and via a map view. The individual incidents are assigned a color, depending on their category and threat level. When using the map view, clicking on the individual incidents offers a specific location and more information. Active Dispatch utilizes UIKit, however, the inspiration came through some recent SwiftUI projects (programmatic UI, gradients, reactive color changes, and the MVVM architecture).


Technologies used: MapKit, Core Location

WeatherApp

Role: Developer & designer


WeatherApp gave me the perfect opportunity to combine some of my favorite technologies: SwiftUI and Combine. This pairing made it simple to create a UI that dynamically reacts to incoming data. With Core Location seamlessly integrated, there’s no setup required—just open the app, and it instantly detects your location to provide accurate, real-time weather updates. After completing the main app, I added a widget for extra convenience, allowing users to view their hourly forecast directly from their home screen.
