Senior iOS developer building high-impact Swift/SwiftUI apps for millions of users.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior iOS Developer with 6+ years of experience building and shipping high-impact iOS applications for millions of users. I bring proven expertise in Swift, SwiftUI, Combine, and Apple Intelligence, with a strong focus on performance optimization, accessibility, and architecture.
Currently, I’m driving pharmacy features for Canada’s largest retailer (Loblaw / Shoppers Drug Mart – 15M+ weekly customers) inside the Loblaw Companies Limited iOS app. I collaborate daily with Canadian and Portuguese teams—UX/UI, product managers, Android, and backend engineers—to deliver seamless digital experiences on aggressive release timelines.
Previously at 8x8, I enhanced call handling and messaging features used by 3M+ business users worldwide, and I helped lead onboarding after only 6 months’ Fuze experience. I also contributed to 8x8 winning 43 G2 customer satisfaction awards in 2024, while ensuring compliance with new 2025 European accessibility regulations; along the way, I’ve delivered production code for 3M+ business users and supported multiple App Store successes.
