As a Lead Software Engineer with 15 years in the industry, I'm passionate about building applications that solve complex problems. My core focus is iOS Accessibility, where I strive to make technology accessible to everyone. Currently, at UNAR Labs, I lead the development of user interfaces and had the privilege of creating advanced haptic and audio feedback systems for Midlina, an app designed to assist the Blind and Visually Impaired. Before this, I ran my own iOS consulting company, where I built the first version of the Hive Social Network app. With a background in both Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, I enjoy tackling challenges from multiple perspectives and am proficient in a wide range of languages, including Swift, SwiftUI, Python, and JavaScript.
