Orangeloops
iOS Engineer & Team Lead

Embedded iOS engineer through staff augmentation, working long-term inside US-based consumer product teams — a leading wearable health platform (~1M+ members), a top-3 US food-delivery app (30M+ users), and an Orangeloops in-house HealthKit / Apple Watch app. Bridging the gap between product, client and team as a technical lead, helping the PM keep priorities clear and the engineering crew unblocked. Hands-on with Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Combine, async/await, HealthKit and Apple Watch.

Networks & Servers Department Supervisor

Led an IT infrastructure team — organizing incoming work, training team members, providing company-wide support both remote and in person, and acting as the liaison between the client and the company. The years that taught me how to listen to people, frame problems and ship reliable systems.
