Shai Mishali — Lead IOS Developer

A veteran iOS developer, international speaker, and a highly active open-source contributor and maintainer on several high-profile projects - namely, the RxSwift Community and RxSwift projects, but also releases many open-source endeavours around Combine such as CombineExt, CombineCocoa, RxCombine and more. Author on the book "Combine: Asynchronous Programming with Swift", and an editor on many other technical books on topic such RxSwift, Concurrency, Realm, and more and also spoke in many well-known conference such as try! Swift NYC, SwiftConf, Swift Heroes, droidCon Tell Aviv, and many more. I started my computer journey when I was 5 years old and got my first IBM XT computer, as a gift for Passover (a Jewish holiday), and was truly enchanted by it. I still couldn't do much more than playing DOS games and connecting 2 clients via TCP clients for chat on a 14.4kbps Dial-up modem (which was pretty remarkable at the time). My career path started off with about 10 years of experience with Web and Backend development as well as various web-specific architectural roles, but since ~2010, I've switched my main passion to iOS development, starting with iOS 4. My vast backend experience is extremely handy as a mobile lead / engineer since I have knowledge of "the best of both worlds". I've never really had any official education (especially not in my profession), and I make up for that by being quite an Autodidact. I've learned most of what i know completely by myself and quite quickly, which is one of the reasons i have knowledge in quite a wide range of subjects in the computer world. I have a fast grasp of learning new languages and a great mind for troubleshooting and bug-solving. One of the things i love the most is having a good and interesting challenge. I love learning new things and implementing them in my daily work. My greatest dream in the profession is to build something that will really help people on their daily lives, and something that will really impact people and reach to millions of potential users.

Dropico media ltd

Head of R&D

Nov 2009 – Apr 2014 · 4 yrs 5 mos · Israel

Dropico is a pioneering provider of everything in the realm of Photography and the way users interact with photography on the internet.
In the beginning of the way, Dropico developed a complex Flex Drag&Drop interface that allowed users to drag photos between different social networks (Facebook, Flickr, Picasa etc)
We were 2 employees in charge of this project, one was responsible for the Flex interface while i was responsible for the entire backend and server work (Prepaing a AMF-PHP connectivity for the UI Interface, Connecting users to various social networks, uploading images through the cloud and via cloud-to-cloud uploading, load balancing multiple servers over the Amazon ELB using Memcache for Session Stickiness, Installation and Maintenance of Ubuntu EC2 Instances, Custom EC2 AMIs and much more).
After a while Dropico decided to leave that Platform behind (but keeping the great force of the framework i've built for it, while building a Private API on top of it for external usage) and went into the iPhone development business (again, in the realm of Photography). I've learned iOS development quite quickly (and still am learning) and went into developing and released the following apps : Filter Mania (Partially), Google Plus Photo Importer, Facebook Photo Importer, Retrogram (Soon) and many more apps that are near-finished.

Jukata inc

Senior PHP Engineer

Apr 2008 – Nov 2009 · 1 yr 7 mos

Jukata was a project for syncing a user's music library to the cloud (AWS) so he can play it everywhere, anytime.
I was the single developer of the API and framework for this project, including track-recognition by creation of a unique signature for each song, so when multiple users upload the same resource, actually only one resource is being used by the signature.
I was also responsible at the time for the company website and Server Installation and Maintenance.

Applicure

Webmaster / PHP Developer

Jun 2006 – Apr 2008 · 1 yr 10 mos

Applicure Technologies was a master of web application security, and produced a commercial WAF (Web Application Firewall). As part of my job I was responsible for the company website and servers and any other web application needed by our executives, including a multi-lingual CRM.
