What I'm looking for

I seek a role building and shipping iOS apps with strong CI/CD and test automation, collaborative teams, and opportunities to improve QA and developer workflows.

I am an iOS software engineer focused on building and shipping production iOS applications for startups and global clients. I specialize in native and hybrid iOS solutions using Swift, Cordova, and Capacitor, and manage dependency systems like CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager.

I design and maintain backend APIs using Java, Spring Boot, gRPC and Maven, and I implement end-to-end testing and automation with Cypress and K6. I have built custom in‑house testing libraries and plugins to support functional, smoke and performance testing across services.

I lead CI/CD and DevOps work for mobile projects, having implemented GitHub Actions pipelines for automated testing, continuous integration and deployment. I launched and delivered multiple startup apps, overseeing iOS development from design through App Store release.

I combine hands-on mobile development, backend API experience and test automation to deliver reliable, well‑tested apps. I enjoy improving developer workflows, raising QA coverage, and shipping user-focused products.
