What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role (iOS Architect or Engineering Manager) where I can shape mobile architecture, mentor teams, ensure code quality, and drive scalable delivery.

I am a Lead iOS Developer with 14+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance mobile applications for enterprise and consumer products. I specialize in Swift, SwiftUI and Objective-C, and focus on architecture design and mobile performance optimization.

I have led delivery, mentored developers, driven code quality, and collaborated closely with cross-functional stakeholders to ship reliable apps. I have hands-on experience architecting modular components, integrating GraphQL and REST APIs, and implementing CI/CD with Fastlane and GitHub Actions.

My projects include secure WKWebView-based browsers for Citrix, MVVM-driven Bluetooth and Core Data work for Philips SkinCoach, and integrations such as LivePerson and XMPP for telecom and finance clients. I emphasize testing with XCTest, TDD and UI automation to ensure production quality.

I am seeking to transition into iOS Architect or Engineering Manager roles where I can apply my technical depth and leadership to shape platform architecture, mentor engineering teams, and drive delivery at scale.
