At Thrive Market, I led iOS stability and performance work, cutting launch time by over one second and eliminating memory leaks across core user flows. I also rebuilt legacy home screen sections in SwiftUI and Swift for an app with 1M+ monthly users.

I was a main contributor to the Webby-winning Sahara release, which drove a 6% sales lift, and shipped an AI chatbot and the Instacart Fresh ad vertical. I grew UI and unit test coverage from 0% to 40% and modernized legacy Objective-C and UIKit modules to Swift.

Earlier, at Fitplan Technologies, I grew the iOS user base from 35,000 to 60,000 active users and led a remote team of three engineers. My personal projects, iZOnIt and Dual N Back, are iOS apps built with Swift and SwiftUI.
