Summary
Results-driven Apple platforms engineer and software architect with over twelve years of hands-on
experience building modern, scalable, and user-centric applications across iOS, macOS, watchOS, iPadOS,
and visionOS. I bring deep expertise in Swift, SwiftUI, Swift Concurrency, and contemporary Apple
frameworks, applying clean architectural principles to deliver robust, maintainable, and elegant solutions.

As an indie developer and product-focused engineer, I combine technical craftsmanship with strong UX
intuition-designing intuitive interfaces, seamless user flows, and privacy-respecting, on-device functionality.
My background also includes mentoring teams, leading architecture decisions, shipping App Store products
end-to-end, and integrating advanced technologies such as Foundation Models, SwiftData, and StoreKit 2.

I’m committed to continuous learning, experimentation, and staying ahead of Apple’s evolving ecosystem.
Whether contributing to open-source libraries, designing internal frameworks, or shaping product strategy, I
aim to create software that feels effortless to use and solid to maintain-engineering with clarity, purpose, and
long-term value in mind.

interface clarity, boosted performance, and enhanced workflow usability. Refined UI behavior and
interaction logic, refreshed visual design, and built custom UIKit components that strengthened data
handling and grid-oriented operations. Added polished graphics and visual assets to elevate product
quality. Increased platform stability by reinforcing legacy parts of the codebase and applying modern
engineering practices that improved maintainability and long-term reliability.
• iScanBrowser – Improved a mature, mission-critical browser that integrates peripheral devices and
barcode scanners directly into a WebView, enabling hardware-driven workflows inside web applications.
Refined UI behavior, streamlined navigation, and delivered focused UX enhancements tailored to
scanning-intensive tasks. Built custom UIKit components that supported advanced scanning logic.
Designed visual assets that strengthened the product’s identity. Increased overall stability by improving
legacy modules and applying modern, maintainable engineering practices across the codebase.
• SerialMagic – Developed a standalone keyboard extension designed to let users work with barcode
scanners in any app. Built the project from the ground up right after the release of iOS 8, delivering a fully
functional solution despite the strict limitations of early extension APIs. Implemented complex business
logic within the constrained extension environment and ensured reliable, fast, and predictable scanning
workflows across the system. Successfully handled all engineering, UI, and integration work
independently, producing a stable and widely usable tool on day one.
• RS3 NFC Setup – Independently developed a specialized configuration tool for the RS3 NFC Reader, a
dedicated BLE device. Designed and implemented the full workflow for pairing, tuning, and managing
device settings, ensuring a clear and efficient setup experience for end users. Built a stable and focused
utility that simplified hardware configuration and improved reliability in field operations.
• Inspect RRC – Independently built a specialized offline tool for railroad inspectors to record cargo safety
conditions between railway stations. Designed the full product end to end, including UX, visual design,
and all graphics. Implemented a reliable workflow optimized for field conditions, ensuring fast data entry,
stable offline operation, and clear reporting. Delivered a fully self-contained solution that improved
inspection accuracy and operational efficiency.
• yACK FAST – Independently developed a specialized configuration tool for managing the yACK BLE
chip. Designed the full control workflow, implemented reliable BLE communication, and created a clear
interface for tuning and monitoring device parameters. Delivered a focused utility that simplified chip
configuration, improved setup precision, and ensured stable operation in field and testing environments.
