Hi, I’m Paul Onawola, a passionate iOS and mobile software engineer who loves turning ideas into reliable, user-friendly apps. I specialize in Swift, SwiftUI, MVVM, and CoreData, with a strong focus on performance, accessibility, and clean architecture. I’ve led remote development teams and shipped apps that work beautifully on the Apple ecosystem, from ValueSwap-Card Value Shop to Cardhive - Gift Card Cashing. Beyond coding, I enjoy teaching tutorials on software engineering, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and continuously learning new technologies. I’m fluent in English and Yoruba with some beginner French skills, and I love football, chess, books, movies, and music.
