I previously worked at Apple for 9 years as a software engineer, and I have over 15 years of professional software development experience. I want to join a team building a native iOS app.
Experience:
Senior iOS Engineer
I worked on Procore for iOS, a project management app for the construction industry. I:
  • Wrote the iOS subsystem that lets customers customize Procore forms (to make fields required and add custom fields)
  • Resolved over 50 unique crashes affecting customers that were in the top 5 by volume over a 7 day period
  • Sped up the iOS build by ~20% by spinning out code that never changes into a separate prebuilt binary
  • Helped create a faster way for users to create punch list items that uses video and speech recognition
  • Helped create a tool to run automated snapshot tests to catch regressions in the app
iOS Engineer
I worked on iHeartRadio for iOS, a music streaming app. I implemented redesigns for browsing and playing podcasts.
iOS Developer
Musey was a short-lived startup in San Francisco. I helped them create an iOS app for photo sharing.
UIKit Software Engineer
  • Led development on the Siri streaming animation that was new in iOS 8
  • Implemented some small UI redesigns for iOS 7 (which was a major design refresh)
  • Presented at WWDC in 2011 and 2012 on the iOS text input system
  • Led development on keyboard dictation for Siri’s initial release
  • Made performance improvements so that Cut / Copy / Paste and text selection in iOS 3 were fast enough for the first iPhone
Safari/WebKit Software Engineer
  • Implemented part of Safari’s Safe Browsing feature, which protects users from malicious content
  • Maintained WebKit’s editing engine. Implemented several performance improvements
