What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior iOS role where I can own architecture and quality standards end-to-end, build accessible design systems, improve performance, and coach engineers—while shipping reliable apps through strong CI/CD and testing.

I’m a Senior iOS Engineer and Mobile Architect with 5+ years of experience shipping high-quality applications to millions of users in fintech and gaming.

I lead iOS architecture end-to-end—owning technical decisions, quality standards, and CI/CD processes—while coaching engineers through code reviews, architecture workshops, and knowledge sharing.

At a 3,000-employee organization, I led the architecture, design, and development of the entire iOS platform for 8 product teams and 50+ iOS engineers, and delivered an enterprise-grade SwiftUI design system adopted by ~100 developers across 3 companies.

I’m expert in Swift, SwiftUI, Combine, and Async/Await, and I’ve driven migrations to achieve a 100% modern codebase with structured concurrency, improved reliability and performance (e.g., 40% faster app launch), and raised quality to 90%+ test coverage.
