I served as a senior engineer and leader in Watch Software at Apple, focused on the design and architecture of watchOS as a whole.For two years, I led a team of senior engineers focused on ensuring that watchOS is architected and implemented to deliver a great experience for our customers. This included driving near-term tactical efforts to address system-wide issues related to NAND, DRAM, and disk space, as well as initiating and guiding longer-term planning and investigation to ensure that the footprint of watchOS will continue to match well with the resource profile of current and future Apple Watch devices.I led and was accountable for an intensely cross-functional effort to improve the experience of our customers wearing Apple Watch Series 3.

I collaborated with a small team to build the user experience for Wallet & Apple Pay on Apple Watch, including the core contactless payment experience, in-app payments, Apple Pay on the web, Apple Pay transit integration, Apple Cash, and Apple Card.In my final year on the team, I prototyped, pitched to upper management, and drove the implementation of a brand new Wallet user experience on watchOS, which shipped in watchOS 7. I also led the client engineering effort to integrate Disney MagicMobile into Apple Wallet across iPhone and Apple Watch.I shared knowledge and built technical capability within the broader Apple Watch software organization through presentations, short-term secondments to other teams, and providing ad-hoc advice and assistance where needed.

I built infrastructure to support the home screen application and the management of applications on iOS. As a generalist, I was often tasked with debugging and resolving issues that defied easy categorization and whose root cause could have been at a number of different layers in the stack.I implemented Do Not Disturb for iOS. I also presented at Apple's World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) about improving app performance by reducing memory usage.

I led the development of the Core Location public framework on iOS. During my time on the team, I unified the code bases for the iOS and macOS versions of Core Location, implemented location simulation tools for third-party developers, and added framework support for the location privacy pane. I worked extensively with software teams across the organization to integrate location services into iOS.I presented at Apple's World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) three times.
