Specialization: iOS Developer

Full-time Lead iOS Developer since Jan 2011 strictly oriented on the quality and results. For several last years in Australia, I became a kind of professional rescuer for iOS projects from disgusting outsourcer implementation. I refactor ugly codes to the clean and tidy ones on Swift and Objective C, deliver the right results in short terms and under pressure. I have already done that for several companies and can do the same for you. Experienced in software development for 25+ years, I also have successful technical management experience (20+ years) on the whole specter of positions between Lead Developer and CTO.

Portfolio

Formbay Trading Pty Ltd

That was the challenge to deal with the inherited iOS app ObjC codebase. I had to start by teaching the team about basic programming principles like code structure, syntax, and naming rules, and some tricks on how to write fewer codes & etc. Nowadays, besides the creation of new features and R&D of applicability for perspective technologies to our business, up to 98% of the codebase is refactored to Swift. I have done about 95% of the translation on Swift, made radical updates for UI, database, and network layers, and implemented all new features. Also, I have designed an iPad version of the app.

Levo Group Pty Ltd

I was invited to support a project in a critical situation when the previous iOS developer has created a lot of technical problems and made a reputation loss for the company. The customer was ready to stop the project literally “next week”. I had to meet very tight deadlines with huge refactoring which must be done. I had to work about 12-14 hours per day without weekends for 3 weeks but we could secure the project for the company.

Would-Be Lab
