Iโm an iOS Mobile Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience programming iOS in Objective-C and Swift who has cut my teeth in multiple start-ups in Silicon Valley as well as large companies.
Iโm the engineer willing to go out and take screenshots of all the competitorsโ products and disseminate them technically with the team, write up swagger documentation to avoid death by unversioned Microsoft Word documents, diagram sequence flows and UML in mermaid markdown to avoid confusion even when none of these roles is โmy jobโ.
Outside of work Iโm involved in tech meetups in the community (minimum 10-20 hours per week) because you cannot learn everything at work and your work cannot teach you everything you need to learn! Change is not optional in these times

I'm a Software Engineer with 13 years of experience and a focus in iOS native (Swift, SwfitUI) over the past 7; I am well-versed in all aspects of app development, from ideation to deploying to TestFlight to releasing to the App Store.
I am extremely comfortable in fast paced environments with fluctuating, nebulously defined expectations due to many years spent in startups. I have a tenacious, bulldog approach to engineering, and refuse to let a problem go unsolved. Some major accomplishments:
Performance Improvements in Core Data
----------------------------------------
By identifying bottlenecks in the JSON digestion of my app I was able to craft a solution that led, in some cases, to 1200% improvements in performance.
Rapid Prototyping
-----------------
Given a few sentences from my CEO sketching out the idea I worked with Figma to quickly produce a usable video chat prototype that we were able to test internally through TestFlight.
Product Management
---------------------
As the de factor product manager for the app at Pace Groups, Inc., by virtue of being the only iOS engineer and thus fully responsible for every aspect of its lifecycle, I worked alongside the CEO and our backend team to plan our product roadmap and ensure projects were structured in such a way that everything was being released in a timely manner. 
I have over 17 years of experience in high-volume, contract, and corporate recruiting across various industries, such as information technology, engineering, biotechnology, and financial services. I am passionate about diversity recruiting and creating positive candidate experiences throughout the hiring process.
I partner with VPs, directors, and project managers to understand their staffing needs and deliver qualified candidates that match their requirements and culture. I also develop and implement best practices for recruitment and employment, leveraging social networking, Workday Recruiting, and other tools to optimize efficiency and effectiveness. My mission is to match candidates and employers with their ideal job and candidate, respectively, and to foster long-term relationships based on trust and transparency.
