What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and ship polished iOS applications, collaborate closely with product and client teams, and work on features involving Swift, UIKit, REST APIs, Firebase, and scalable app architecture.

I've developed and maintained iOS applications at Neighbrsnook and Next Big Technology, shipping social, banking, wellness, media, and virtual-reality experiences using Swift and UIKit.

At Next Big Technology, I built and maintained 3+ iOS apps with more than 10,000 App Store downloads, integrated REST APIs, collaborated with client teams, and published updates compliant with App Store guidelines.

My work includes Blytics, a Nigerian banking app with subscriptions, Firebase OTP, scheduled payments, biometric lock, QR functionality, and MVVM architecture. I also redesigned Team1Global with podcast and video streaming, PDF viewing, community media features, AVPlayer, mini-player playback, and local caching.

Before iOS development, I supported AWS and DevOps environments at Cloudastra Technologies, deploying applications with Docker and AWS services and implementing an ECS CI/CD pipeline through AWS CodePipeline.
