    • Senior iOS Software Engineer
      Apr 2017 - Jan 2021 · 3 yrs 10 mos

      I underwent a transformative journey, evolving from a mid-level software developer to a seasoned Senior iOS Software Engineer. During this time, I became a pivotal member of the Native Development cross-collaborative team, contributing significantly to the growth and success of the projects I was involved in. Starting as a Mac Software Engineer in September 2016, my initial focus was on honing my skills in Agile Development, Model-view-viewmodel (MVVM), and REST APIs. During this period, I delved into the intricacies of Design Patterns, GitHub collaboration, and Mobile Application Development. This foundational experience provided me with a solid understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and Computer Science principles. In April 2017, I transitioned to the role of Senior iOS Software Engineer, marking a significant leap in my career. During the subsequent 3 years and 10 months, I embraced the challenges of leading the iOS development efforts, where my responsibilities extended beyond coding. Agile Development methodologies, REST APIs, and Design Patterns became not just tools but strategic elements in influencing the architecture and direction of our projects. Debugging intricate issues, collaborating through GitHub, and navigating the complexities of Distributed Systems became integral to my role. The Mobile Application Development landscape presented opportunities to shape the user experience and performance, while my understanding of architecture evolved to encompass a broader and more strategic perspective. A key aspect of my growth was the realization of the nuanced differences between a mid-level software developer and a Senior Software Engineer. Beyond technical mastery, I recognized the importance of leadership and collaboration in steering a project towards success
