Open to new opportunities

Summary
iOS Developer (Trainee/Junior track) with 2+ years of production QA experience across mobile and web
applications, including two national-scale Ukrainian platforms serving millions of users. Self-taught in
Swift, UIKit, SwiftUI, MVVM/MVC/MVP and REST API integration, demonstrated through personal projects
including a UIKit/MVVM weather app with unit tests and a SwiftUI take-home prototype (see Projects
below). Brings a QA engineer's eye for edge cases, reliability and user experience to every line of code —
and is now applying that lens to building software, not just testing it.

Skills
• Programming language: Swift
• UI Frameworks: UIKit, SwiftUI
• Architecture: MVVM, MVC, MVP
• Networking & Data: REST APIs, URLSession
• Tools: Git, Xcode, AI-assisted development (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT)

Professional Experience
Stfalcon 11/2023 – 12/2025
QA Engineer Khmelnytskyi
• Delivered manual QA across mobile (iOS/Android) and web products throughout the full development
lifecycle, partnering daily with developers to resolve issues before release.
• Performed functional, regression, smoke and exploratory testing and validated REST APIs, building a
practical, ground-level understanding of how software is designed, built and shipped.
• Contributed as QA to System 112, Ukraine's national emergency-response platform for the Ministry of
Internal Affairs, which processed 2M+ calls in its first year and now covers 20 regions.
• Contributed as QA to Air Alert, a nationwide civil-defense app built with Ajax Systems, recognized with
the European Excellence Award (2023) and used by millions of Ukrainians.
• Authored test documentation and verified defect fixes in close collaboration with engineering teams —
the same cross-functional workflow used in professional iOS development.
• Self-studying iOS development (Swift, UIKit, SwiftUI, MVVM/MVC/MVP) — see Projects below

Projects
Weather App — UIKit — github.com/AndriyGvozd/WeatherAppMVVM
• Built an iOS weather app in Swift using UIKit and the MVVM architecture to separate view logic from
data handling.
• Included a dedicated unit test target (WeatherAppMVVMTests), applying QA instincts directly to
validating app logic during development.
Livita Test Task — SwiftUI — github.com/AndriyGvozd/TestTaskLivita

• Completed a take-home SwiftUI test task: a two-screen prototype — Home (scrollable tool cards,
floating tab bar) and Result (draggable before/after image slider).
• Structured the app by feature (Screens/Home, Screens/Result) with Model/ViewModel/View
separation and a shared layer for theming and reusable components.
