What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead iOS delivery for high-scale fintech or real-time products—offline-first, secure, and measurable. I want Agile teams that value Clean Architecture, TDD/BDD, and performance/reliability improvements with strong CI/CD.

I’m an iOS Team Lead with 11+ years of experience building enterprise-grade, scalable mobile applications using Swift. I specialize in clean architecture, performance, maintainability, and full-stack integrations—especially for transaction-driven, secure systems.

I’ve led teams delivering fintech solutions with multi-country and multi-currency workflows, supporting 1M+ users in Agile (Scrum) environments. Using TDD/BDD practices, I help teams ship reliable releases while improving UI responsiveness and overall engineering discipline.

On recent projects, I designed offline-first architectures with Core Data—improving reliability in low-connectivity environments by 40%. I also implemented real-time messaging with XMPP and Socket.IO, achieving 99.9% message delivery reliability, and strengthened automated testing (XCTest / Swift Testing Framework) to reduce production regressions by 35%.

I bring strong delivery execution through CI/CD automation (Jenkins, Fastlane, GitHub Actions, Tuist), release reliability improvements, and performance optimization using Instruments. I also incorporate AI-assisted development workflows while maintaining validation and refactoring standards for long-term code quality.
