What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative mobile engineering role where I can build polished iOS experiences, work with strong design teams, and grow into larger product and technical responsibilities.

I am a dedicated Swift developer with 2+ years of hands-on experience designing, developing, and deploying iOS applications, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Columbia University. I build clean, efficient code using Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, CoreData, Combine, and RESTful APIs, and I prioritize testability and reliability through XCTest and CI pipelines.

At XYZ Tech Solutions I designed and delivered 5+ high-performing apps that surpassed 100k downloads and averaged 4.8 stars, collaborated closely with UI/UX teams to increase engagement by 25%, and implemented monetization features that boosted revenue by 15%. I have experience optimizing performance, integrating Firebase and payment gateways, and enabling offline-first functionality with CoreData and SQLite.

I value teamwork, continual learning, and practical problem-solving; I bring experience from internships and production roles, Apple and Swift certifications, and a strong foundation in software engineering principles such as OOP, MVC/MVVM, and Agile practices.
