What I'm looking for
Hi! I’m an iOS engineer with a product mindset and a track record of building apps people love. My experience spans across healthcare, data science, and robotics, allowing me to bring a unique systems thinking approach to mobile development. I am passionate about creating technology that feels intuitive and enhances everyday life, and I thrive in collaborative team environments.
At Shionogi, I led the development and deployment of an internal iOS app that increased employee engagement by 30% within three months. I also designed and built core features for a scientific journal-sharing app, which improved user efficiency by 70%. My technical expertise includes integrating RESTful APIs with cloud backend services and developing reusable SwiftUI components that have significantly reduced development time and elevated UI/UX consistency.
Previously, as a Data Scientist at Burberry, I built computer vision models to combat counterfeit product distribution and co-developed an AI-powered chatbot that enhanced customer service efficiency. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Robotics, where I was honored with the Made@City Prize for designing an autonomous robot for critical environments.
