Skills


I’m your freelance software engineer gun-for-hire, and I’m here to help you build your next big thing, your killer app, your zero to one. I’ve been at this for a long time, twelve years to be exact, and I am ready to meet you where you are and take you where you want to go. Early stage startup or established tech giant, I will work with you and your team to efficiently deliver high-quality results.

Time for some buzzwords. I’ve been working with Swift since it was released, and creating interfaces using SwiftUI for nearly two years now. They are essentially my “daily drivers”. Objective-C and UIKit have taken a bit of a backseat for me, but I’ve got loads of experience using both and am quite comfortable with them. Recently, I’ve also worked on and shipped an Android app built with Jetpack Compose. I also have extensive experience with Node.js backends that serve millions of users a month, and know how to deploy and scale these stacks on AWS.

Work History

09/2021 - 12/2022
Mobile Engineer
Wayfair USA.

This project entailed building the mobile components to Wayfair's
physical store experience that launched in May of 2022. We built
several features, including a in-app scanner to allow users to look
up items shown on ESLs (electronic shelf labels), the ability to pay
in the store using their online balance, and an in-store mode for
enhanced the customer's visit to the store.
Additionally, I was part of a team that built an Android app for the
employees on the sales floor to set up and edit ESLs. Written in
Jetpack Compose, this app was deployed to the Zebra scanner
devices used in the retail locations.

08/2020 - 09/2021
Lead iOS Engineer
Scout24 Group

I'm currently working to support multiple teams and stakeholders
with their execution, feature delivery, and onboarding of new hires.
I am the Tech Domain Owner for iOS at Scout24, meaning I help
shape the standards for mobile engineering in the company. I was
the lead engineer for time-sensitive projects related to Scout's
COVID՞19 response, where we delivered a working high-quality
video chat MVP in under a month. When iOS 14 and Apple's privacy
changes were announced, I was in charge of leading the migration
with many stakeholders and engineers. I also code quite a bit, as
well, working on internal tools, CI systems, and improvements to
our automated testing.
I've played an important part in architecting and implementing
some key features of the Scout24 iOS app, and in moving our
codebase from Objective-C to Swift.
