What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in mobile application development.

I am an experienced iOS Lead Architect with over 11 years of expertise in building scalable, secure, and high-performance mobile applications for global brands across various sectors including banking, e-commerce, and product startups. My proficiency in Swift, SwiftUI, Objective-C, and Kotlin, combined with my experience in cloud platforms like AWS, enables me to lead cross-functional teams effectively. I take pride in owning architecture and driving end-to-end delivery with a strong focus on performance, DevOps, and user experience.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led the end-to-end development of enterprise-grade applications such as myCoke and HSBC Kinetic, which are utilized by thousands of users across the U.S., UK, and Canada. I have a deep understanding of secure coding practices, accessibility, unit/UI testing, and the full release lifecycle on the App Store. My role as a technical mentor has allowed me to drive team productivity through code reviews, Agile ceremonies, architectural guidance, and onboarding support.
