Mobile Lead, I Os, Native Swift
I have over a decade of experience building native iOS apps in Objective-C and Swift for a wide range of industries and services, such as: Non-custodial Blockchain Wallets, Self service apps for Large Telecommunication Companies, Healthcare trackers, Uber like 'Last mile delivery', Sports tracking, e-commerce, and communicating with custom external hardware devices. Some of these projects have also involved building and maintaining open source libraries.
While my passion is iOS development, I have also built web applications in Angular, Backends with Node.js + CouchDB, Social media chatbots with Watson AI tools, and proof of concepts in the IoT (internet of things) space. I am interested in a wide variety of technologies and open to roles that are not exclusively iOS development. However I am strongly against hybrid/cross-platform technologies like React-Native, Flutter, Xamarin, Ionic, etc. I have a lot of experience in this area and feel these technologies all suffer from the same fundamental flaws, offering poor user experience, and I wouldn't be open to working with these.
I have worked as a solo dev in small startups, and lead small teams in large multi nationals. My preference would be smaller startup like companies, and leading the technical direction for mobile, but I'm always open to hearing about any roles. Currently I'm only open to fully remote roles.
