About

I build production-ready iOS SDKs and apps that make customer integrations faster and products more reliable. Over the last 14+ years, I’ve led Swift migrations, architected SDKs for global publishers, and improved platform reliability — while coaching teams to ship faster with higher quality. At Smaato(part of Verve now), I design and maintain a modular iOS SDK used by 1000+ publisher partners worldwide (CocoaPods distribution). I own the SDK architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and performance tuning — reducing integration time for partners by 40% and lowering SDK-reported crashes by 20%. At Citi I led the migration of two major enterprise apps from Objective-C to Swift, improving maintainability and reducing technical debt. I bring a pragmatic approach to architecture (MVVM/VIPER), rigorous testing, and metrics-driven debugging (profiling tools, Crashlytics, SonarQube). I’m comfortable shipping at scale — both product features and SDKs used by third parties.
 Core skills: Swift, SwiftUI, Objective-C, SDK design, MVC, MVVM/VIPER, Clean Architecture, CocoaPods, CI/CD (Jenkins / GitHub Actions / CircleCI), profiling & crash analytics, AWS (Basics). I mentor engineers, perform technical interviews, and drive cross-functional alignment between product, backend, and QA.
 If you’re hiring a Senior/Staff/Lead iOS engineer to own iOS Development, SDK strategy, lift platform quality, or lead a mobile team, let’s talk — I’m open to senior technical leadership roles and challenging work. Email: paresh.karnawat@gmail.com or DM on LinkedIn.
