About

iOS engineer with 9 years building production apps that handle real money, real users, and zero tolerance for failure. I've owned iOS architecture end-to-end across fintech, real estate, and health — from blank Xcode project to scaled, multi-variant platforms. At MatchMove Pay, I designed a KYC SDK deployed across three financial apps, standardizing compliance flows and reducing per-client integration effort by 70%. At Kolo, I built the platform's entire iOS foundation as Founding Engineer — feed architecture, deep linking, CI/CD, analytics, and performance — shipping and maintaining a complex system solo before it scaled. What sets me apart: · Security-first architecture in regulated environments (secure storage, encrypted persistence, biometric auth, zero audit findings) · CI/CD ownership that turns multi-day manual releases into automated same-day deploys · Architectural rewrites that ship — MVVM migration across 40K+ lines without downtime · SDK design: reusable, tested, consumed by multiple teams I'm looking to bring this to a high-stakes iOS team where quality, security, and long-term architecture decisions actually matter.

Lead iOS Engineer

Sep 2022 – Present · 3 yrs 8 mos · India

Built iOS from the ground up as the sole iOS engineer — architecture, delivery, and long-term scalability were entirely mine to own.
→ Architected a backend-driven feed system rendering 5+ content types (ads, products, UGC, projects) — cut time-to-ship new card types from weeks to under 2 days by decoupling layout from data.
→ Engineered a unified deep-link and push-notification routing layer bridging web and native — eliminated navigation dead-ends that were the #1 source of drop-off on notification-driven flows.
→ Built CI/CD pipeline end-to-end (GitLab CI + Fastlane) — turned a multi-day manual release process into automated same-day builds with zero deployment errors.
→ Instrumented remote configuration and analytics across the app — enabled product to run 3–4 live A/B experiments per sprint with no engineering support.
→ Profiled and fixed memory/CPU bottlenecks across the feed — achieved consistent 60fps scroll on mid-range devices.

White-label fintech platform — high-compliance iOS in a multi-client, regulated payments environment.
→ Designed and shipped a reusable KYC SDK adopted across 3 client apps — standardized identity verification compliance and cut per-client integration effort by 70%. Built for reuse, security, and regulatory consistency.
→ Led architectural migration of a legacy financial app to MVVM — restructured 40K+ lines of code, measurably reduced crash rates, and enabled new engineers to ship features within their first week.
→ Hardened the app against compliance requirements: encrypted local persistence, secure token storage, session management, and biometric authentication — zero findings in post-migration security audit.
→ Automated build and release with Fastlane + GitLab CI across multiple white-label variants — reduced manual release steps from 12 to 2 and enabled parallel client builds.

Led iOS for a short-video consumer platform with 100K+ users and a team of 4 engineers reporting to this role.
→ Built AVFoundation-based video editing pipeline — multi-clip merge, audio overlay, real-time preview — shipped directly to 100K+ active users.
→ Engineered adaptive AVPlayer playback that maintained under 2s load times on degraded networks — reduced buffering-related complaints by 60%.
→ Introduced VIPER architecture and mandatory code review across a 4-person team — cut PR cycle time and raised test coverage measurably within one quarter.
