@bogdanredkin
I build high-performance iOS apps, GPU-powered media tools, and AI photo products used by millions.
What I'm looking for
I've spent 12+ years building high-performance iOS applications across messaging, fintech, e-commerce, healthcare, and media. My work combines Swift, SwiftUI, Objective-C, Metal, and on-device machine learning to deliver reliable products at scale.
As co-founder and Lead iOS Engineer at Fancy Tech, I built and scaled two AI-powered photo editing apps used by 500K+ people. I own the full product lifecycle, including engineering, product development, marketing, analytics, monetization, and cloud infrastructure.
I built Fancy Tech's cloud AI image-generation pipeline and real-time photo and video processing with custom Metal shaders and Core ML. By connecting acquisition campaigns, custom paywalls, and product pages through continuous A/B testing, I tripled revenue per 1,000 users and reached $16 ARPPU at a 6.5% purchase conversion.
At Tawasal SuperApp, I led iOS engineering as the product grew from 1M to 4M+ users, delivering Crypto.com integration, stock exchange functionality, a UI redesign, and WebRTC group video calls. I've also led teams, set architecture and engineering standards, authored Master Photo and Video Editing with Metal for Apress, and shipped Apple-platform and AWS products for clients at ClearScale.
