Responsible for all development aspects of the Magma Wallet iOS app and the camlKit iOS SDK (https://gitlab.com/camlcase-dev/camlkit/). I also played an active role in the design of the app, working closely with the designer. This role came with many challenges as it was the first native iOS app on the Tezos blockchain. Tezos uses cryptographic curves and processes that no other chain uses, requiring a lot of in-depth work building the tooling needed to form the foundation of the app. This involved a huge amount of communication and alignment with many external teams/companies
