What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As an iOS Developer, I have a strong background in system analysis and mobile development, with a particular focus on building applications using SwiftUI and the MVVM architecture. My experience includes leading major features in banking investment apps, where I collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality products.

Currently, I am developing an iOS application from scratch for a startup, enhancing communication with local government representatives. My role involves performance optimization, memory management, and ensuring compliance for App Store review. Previously, as a Senior Systems Analyst at Alfa-Bank, I designed new functionalities for mobile investment applications and managed developer tasks while supporting feature development.

With a Master’s degree in Software Engineering and a passion for continuous learning, I am committed to leveraging my skills in programming and system analysis to contribute to innovative projects and drive success in my future endeavors.
