I build reliable native iOS apps, automation, and accessible experiences used by millions.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently building iOS test automation infrastructure at Apple, where I've expanded core test coverage by 40%, reduced manual regression cycles from five days to two, and helped raise pipeline pass rates from 82% to 97%.

I've improved messaging response time by 60%, reduced crashes across Gap and Old Navy apps by 95%, raised unit-test coverage from 42% to 78%, and delivered accessible, HIPAA-conscious mobile experiences through close collaboration with product, design, backend, and clinical teams.
