What I'm looking for

I'm seeking impactful iOS engineering roles that foster innovation and design.

I'm a passionate and highly experienced iOS Engineer with over a decade of hands-on development, team leadership, and cross-platform project delivery. My recent roles at Automattic, Inc. saw me ship a major new journaling experience on the Day One app for iPad and improved publishing tools on the WordPress app. As a Senior iOS Developer and Team Lead, I’ve delivered high-impact features using Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, and React Native—while collaborating across teams to deliver features on a quick release cycle.

With a solid foundation in engineering (BEng in Electronic and Computer Engineering) and a deep understanding of the iOS development lifecycle, I have a clear focus on crafting polished, performant, and user-first apps. I’m now looking for impactful iOS engineering roles that push the boundaries of mobile experience design and innovation.
