About Me
Hi, I’m James Swinton-Bland and I’m a developer advocate working for Zebra Technologies UK covering the entire EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) region. I’ve been an android developer since graduating in 2016, and a developer advocate for Zebra since 2018. As a developer advocate, It’s my job to faciliate & promote the use of Zebra’s vast portfolio of devices by developing proof of concept demo applications, speaking at conferences, holding development workshops and providing consultantcy services to developers all accross the world .
