I am a seasoned iOS engineer with over a decade of experience, ranging from Objective-C and UIKit to modern SwiftUI and async/await. I started my software development journey building my first app Beisbol Hoy in 2013. Since then, I've contributed to various impactful products across multiple domains, from consumer-facing marketplaces to internal enterprise tools. My freelance work led to full-time roles where I specialized in complex integrations like Bluetooth, geolocation, and fiscal printing. Notably, I developed a robust iOS Point of Sale system (Invu POS) integrated with Raspberry Pi for hardware control. After moving to Spain, I worked on scaling grocery and qCommerce apps like Lola Market and Glovo, leading initiatives to modernize legacy codebases and implement SwiftUI architectures. I thrive in fast-paced environments, and I am focused on scalable SwiftUI architecture, performance and modularization.
