Frederico Schnekenberg
@fredschnek
Senior iOS engineer modernizing high-scale apps with modular architecture, reliability improvements, and Swift performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior iOS Engineer with 10 years of experience building consumer iOS apps and shared frameworks across e-commerce, streaming, fintech, and mobility. I specialize in modernizing legacy codebases, designing modular architectures, and improving reliability, performance, and developer experience.
In my current role (DevRank / Disney’s Hulu team), I contribute to FY26 OKRs focused on auth reliability, playback experience, quality engineering, and client-side experimentation. I’ve worked toward outcomes like improving login success (+2%), reducing forced-logout rate (-20%), increasing watch hours (+2%), boosting unit test coverage (+20%), and cutting hitch frequency (-50%), while strengthening pre-release quality gates and RCA-driven stability.
I also accelerate delivery using AI-assisted workflows—building custom IDE agents and prompt engineering flows to speed up code analysis, test automation, and crash-log triage across iOS teams. I integrate observability and experimentation signals (e.g., Conviva, Firebase/A-B testing) and support safer code paths under high scale.
Previously, at DevRank (PicPay) I shipped SwiftUI onboarding flows, led the invoice management module, built Pix features (QR and installment flows), and delivered payment-link generation. Earlier, I developed reusable Disney ecosystem components (Swift/SwiftUI/UIKit), supported server-driven UI approaches, mentored teams on SOLID and iOS testing best practices, and led bike-sharing app architecture at Tembici for ~300K daily users—always pairing clean design with measurable engineering quality.
