What I'm looking for

I'm looking to drive innovation and deliver exceptional user experiences through end-to-end iOS development, SDLC management, and close client collaboration.

I've delivered production iOS applications for Wegile's international clients, building real-time SignalR features for 10K+ concurrent users and accelerating releases with Fastlane from three days to under six hours.

Across Lahagora, iRoid Solutions, and Goldenmace, I've modernized Objective-C applications into Swift and SwiftUI, improved app stability and performance, integrated APIs and third-party SDKs, and led teams through enterprise delivery milestones. I enjoy translating complex business and UX requirements into reliable native iOS experiences while mentoring developers and improving engineering practices.
