What I'm looking for

I want senior, remote-friendly roles where I can build performant, modular iOS products, lead engineering efforts, and apply ML/NLP and location-based features to drive user engagement and fast iteration.

I build high-performance iOS applications with a focus on modular architectures, observability, and developer productivity. I have led platform efforts to modernize codebases, adopt CI/CD and build tooling, and deliver measurable performance improvements.

I established a Design Language System (UIKit + SwiftUI) and modularized monolithic apps to reduce development time and unlock feature teams. I rewrote networking with Combine to cut load times and implemented Server-Driven UI to speed delivery and increase conversion.

I've driven language and build migrations—raising Swift adoption dramatically and introducing Bazel to halve build times—while mentoring teams and setting standards for testing and release automation. I also design SDKs, API libraries, and multi-locale experiences for broad device and regional support.

Most recently I am building and scaling social experiences that combine machine learning, NLP, health, motion, and location to deliver predictive, context-aware features. I prioritize pragmatic engineering that balances user impact, reliability, and speed of iteration.
