I excel at solving problems that require refining technical specifications with stakeholders, collaborating with developers and designers, and proposing industry-leading practices. I have strong skills in OOP, systems design, debugging (LLDB, Xcode Instruments), accessibility, networking (REST), writing asynchronous code (async-await, Combine), UI (SwiftUI, UIKit).

Currently employed at Compare the Market.

10+ years of experience.
