What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an iOS leadership role where I can modernize SwiftUI architectures, improve performance and observability, and ship experimentation-ready features end-to-end—mentoring engineers and collaborating cross-functionally at product scale.

I’m a Lead iOS Engineer with over 11.9 years of experience building high-quality, scalable, and user-friendly mobile applications across retail, fintech, media, aviation, and AI domains. I thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and focus on delivering production-stable iOS products that users can rely on.

My deep expertise is in Swift and SwiftUI, along with strong command of native iOS frameworks for Camera & media capture, Push Notifications, Maps & Location Services, and device permissions/hardware integrations. I’ve modernized legacy UIKit codebases to SwiftUI, led architecture reviews, and delivered scalable architectures serving millions of users.

I bring end-to-end ownership—from technical design documents and development to end-to-end testing, experimentation, analysis, and App Store deployment. I’m experienced with MVVM-C, Clean Architecture, Combine, and Swift Concurrency (async/await), and I emphasize performance optimization, reliability, scalability, observability, and experimentation-driven iteration.

I also enjoy mentoring engineers through design/code reviews and structured code reviews, pair programming, and SDK integration support. Recently, I led SwiftUI-based initiatives that replaced legacy dependencies with native solutions, improved load times (~35%), and enabled controlled rollouts and A/B testing using feature flags.
