Meet Antonio Mobile Developer Extraordinaire

Antonio is one of the youngest members of our team and the fact that Banyan can help him pursue his ongoing education is just another way we are giving back.

April 20, 2017 - Antonio’s first thought each morning as he starts with Banyan is “what can I learn more about today”; he embodies one of our core values: “Technology Enthusiasts.” Antonio began with Banyan as an Android developer, but has quickly branched out and handles iOS and Leaf development. Leaf is the software agent that resides on IoT devices and sends and receives messages from our IoT platform, Canopy. Antonio never shies away from learning new things and enthusiastically takes on any challenge provided.  He is currently conversational in Java, Swift, Objective-C, Python, and Go.

All this while also pursuing his college degree during his time away from the office.  Antonio is one of the youngest members of our team and the fact that Banyan can help him pursue his ongoing education is just another way we are giving back. It’s incredibly rewarding to help young engineers like Antonio. We’re building #morethan great software, we’re giving our employees every opportunity to succeed.

As you come to know Antonio, you’ll see why we are thrilled to have him on our team. Antonio is #morethan a great developer he’s fun to hang out with. We asked him a few personal questions and here’s what he had to share.

Antonio brings a great deal to the Banyan culture with his gregarious smile and positive outlook on life.  He also has reminded us from time-to-time of the need to stay young, like when he went to see the movie C.H.I.P.S. and didn’t know beforehand that it was based off a TV-series from the 80’s.

One of Antonio’s favorite phrases is “oh, wow!”, and that is exactly how we feel about having him as part of the Banyan team – Wow!
