Overview
NUDG is a taxi booking app built for everyday rides: book or schedule a trip, pick your car class, watch your driver arrive in real time, and pay in app. I spearheaded its Android development at DG Cars, leading a team of developers and owning the architecture behind live location tracking and payments.
