I’m a software engineer and technical lead with 12+ years of experience building secure, customer-facing mobile banking and financial services applications across digital onboarding, payments, savings, lending, and wealth investment journeys. I’ve led iOS engineering efforts in highly regulated environments, partnering closely with product, design, QA, and risk stakeholders to translate complex requirements into maintainable, reliable features. I’m also hands-on with modern iOS architecture and engineering practices—using Swift/SwiftUI/Objective-C, clean architecture, MVVM, and SOLID principles—while driving quality through code reviews, release governance, CI/CD, and production support. On top of core development, I’ve contributed to AI-assisted engineering workflows (skill/orchestration for code analysis, implementation, and CI automation), and I enjoy mentoring teams and improving delivery velocity without compromising security or user experience.
