What I'm looking for

I seek senior iOS roles building scalable native apps in remote, cross-functional teams focused on architecture, testability, and shipping high-quality user experiences.

I am a senior iOS-focused engineer with 10+ years in enterprise environments and eight years building native iOS apps. I design and deliver user-facing features at scale, most recently leading the Control Card project that launched to ~6.8M monthly active users.

I drive architecture and reliability improvements — migrating Thermostat functionality into a unified device architecture, raising test coverage from 20% to 50%, and contributing to a 4.6‑star App Store rating through deep debugging with Bugsnag and root‑cause fixes. I author technical guides, maintain Jira workflows, and partner with Product, UI/UX, and Backend teams to ensure clear ownership and smooth cross-functional delivery.

Earlier, I led mobile engineering at Social Bank where we scaled to over 1.5M accounts, delivered a peer‑to‑peer Social Cash product that enabled R$100M+ in transactions, and cut onboarding from days to minutes with KYC integration. I automate releases with Fastlane and manage app store deployments, and I work comfortably remote across time zones while prioritizing clear documentation to enable efficient team delivery.
