Senior iOS Engineer at Purple, delivering secure WiFi connectivity and building Niko, a Tesla vehicle control platform.

United Kingdom

Message

At Purple, I deliver Swift and SwiftUI features for a consumer app connecting users to secure WiFi hotspots. I contribute to password-free connectivity, secure network profile provisioning and offline hotspot discovery.

At BrightHR, I developed and maintained the iOS app, building features for clocking in and out, shift scheduling, and employee self-service. I also introduced modern patterns and SwiftUI where appropriate.

I designed and built Niko, a Tesla vehicle control platform, across iOS, Android, a Go backend and a web admin panel. I handled its architecture, API design, production monitoring and store submissions, with a UK launch in 2026.
