Hi there! My name is Emmanuel Ogunmuyiwa, and I’m a software engineer at Apple. In my current role at Apple, I am responsible for supporting a host of frameworks and technologies built around UIFrameworks such as SwiftUI, UIKit, SwiftCharts etc...
Before joining Apple in November 2022, I was an iOS developer at Loblaw Digital, where I had a blast working on the fulfillment space. I lived the vision of helping Canadians live life well by addressing various user pain points and business needs at Loblaw and aligning the technical aspect of iOS development to address those issues.
During my time there, I created the company’s server-driven UI framework prototype (This was my gift to Canadians using the PC-express App before leaving LD and eventually Canada) alongside various other products. I also developed logging solutions to handle real-time exceptions, and implemented a complete redesign of the onboarding, homepage, and fulfillment pages(Yes, the page that showed pickup & delivery options based on your postal code and current location.... Excoriating complex business logic btw, but worth it). I also worked on refactoring the product tile from Objective-C to Swift, modularizing the project architecture, and pushing for a shift away from the giant monolith repo. It was a fantastic journey at Loblaw Digital!
Prior to that, I worked at CanAssist as an iOS developer, where I developed and maintained an AR musculoskeletal application to help measure joint angle rotation for spasticity treatment.
This experience fuelled my passion for using technology to solve real-world problems.
I'm passionate about leveraging technology to make a positive impact on people's lives. If you'd like to connect or learn more about my work, feel free to reach out! 
I am an impact-driven human with a people-first philosophy. In the past ten years, I have sought out opportunities in the critical corners of the tech ecosystem — as a founder, team member, board member, VC, angel investor, and now as an executive search partner. I've rolled up my sleeves in early-stage startups, helped to scale a world-renowned accelerator, co-founded Canada's largest tech meetup group, founded a national talent organization, and worked as a partner in venture capital.
From a very young age, I knew that my cup was full if I was helping other people. Through a non-linear career path from human rights to tech, I've found the greatest joy in work that allows me to remain curious, honest, and creative.
Some of my proudest accomplishments:
* Building Canada's largest startup job board to acquisition by Communitech. It is home to over 1500 companies and 70,000 jobs promoted annually.
* Launching a layoff list product from ideation to MVP in 4 hours, scaling to the world's largest and most impactful layoff program in the early days of the COVID pandemic.
* Expanding a Tier1 venture firm's footprint into Canada as a Talent Partner, supporting deal sourcing, talent referrals, and human capital advisory across the portfolio.
* Launching the first Canadian chapter of a sober sunrise dance party to help unite people of all ages in better daily habits and gratitude.
* Co-founding Canada's largest national meetup group and tech community, launching 3 national chapters and 3 industry-specific chapters in less than 1 year.
* Creating 2 whole humans and raising them as best I can.
Nothing I've accomplished has been done in isolation. I believe that we're all better together. We're better at building companies, creating meaningful change in the world, and reaching our own potential. So, I've made it my life's mission to help smart people find one another. Right now, I am proudly doing this work at True, through technology-powered, process-driven executive search for venture and PE-backed companies and their investors.
