Dedicated and enthusiastic iOS Developer with several years experience in delivering apps from scratch to AppStore release. Worked with many Start-Up project ideas, but also with leading video / e-commerce industires and IoT clients.
WORK EXPERIENCE
iOS Software Engineer, GrubHub
August 2022 - Present
This role continues my work from Blue Wire Software, now directly within the client's team. Initially, I contributed to the Group Orders feature, which required integration with multiple app modules that were not originally designed to support group ordering. This posed significant challenges related to transparency, scalability, and cross-team communication, all of which were crucial to successfully implementing the feature. Once Group Orders was completed, I transitioned to a new team focused on pre-checkout user experience, where I now independently manage a part of the pre-checkout flow. My work involves refining the user journey before order placement, optimizing performance, and ensuring a seamless and intuitive experience.
HIGHLIGHTS
- E-commerce: Food delivery application.
- Pre-checkout flow: Leading improvements to enhance usability and streamline order finalization.
- Group Orders: Integrated group ordering across the app, ensuring modular compatibility.

- User tracking movement: Developed an application for marathon events, allowing users to purchase tickets and watch participants live or offline. Focused on tracking participants on a map with event-specific layers, utilizing MapBox, MapKit, and Google Maps.
- Local and internal projects: Initially focused on UI components and flow navigation, building foundational skills in UI design, networking, and application architecture.
iOS Mentor, Halcyon Mobile
June 2020 - August 2020

They also helped interns navigate challenges related to UIKit, debugging, performance improvements, and adhering to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Constant feedback about the progress of an iOS junior
- Code reviews
- Team management within internship project
