@lakshpurbey1
Lead iOS Engineer designing scalable mobile platforms with performance, modular architecture, and TDD.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Lead iOS Engineer with 12+ years of experience building high-scale mobile platforms across fintech, streaming, and developer tooling. I specialize in mobile system design, performance optimization, modular architecture, and test-driven development—supporting apps serving 500K+ concurrent users and processing millions of transactions.
I’ve delivered platform-level initiatives like offline-first sync, real-time messaging, and GPU-accelerated video processing, improving performance by up to 90% and reducing partner integration time by 40%. In my recent roles, I led teams (4+ engineers), built reusable SDKs, strengthened security (mutual TLS and CryptoKit encryption), and scaled CI/CD and automated testing to reduce regression and deployment cycle times.
