R6Stats is my most successful personal project with over 𝟭.𝟯𝟳 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝘀 and 𝟭𝟯.𝟴𝗸 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 (𝟰.𝟰 ⭐). It's a reflection of my strong passion for iOS and my capability to handle big projects on my own.As the sole designer, developer, and publisher of R6Stats, I've gained valuable experience and knowledge from this successful side project. It's not just an app; it's been my journey where I've learned some significant lessons. • Utilizing Feature Flags in tandem with Trunk-based development, a journey that taught me the significance of controlled feature rollouts.• Embracing the importance of rigorous testing, including A/B testing, as an essential part of the learning process to enhance app performance and user experience.• Prioritizing user needs and preferences for an accessible and efficient app.• Crafting high-quality, optimized code, continually refining my skills to ensure top-notch app performance.• Understanding the significance of localization for a global audience.• Managing all aspects of the project, from design and development to publishing, a journey that expanded my understanding of end-to-end project management.

At SadaPay, I was part of a dynamic team of 12 iOS developers, actively collaborating on mobile (iOS & Android) and Backend (Spring) projects. We seamlessly worked alongside domain experts to deliver high-quality solutions. My core responsibility centred around maintaining high-quality code through rigorous practices such as Test-driven development (TDD) and adhering to a Layered microservices architecture. Some of my key responsibilities included:UI/UX Improvement: Led a significant accomplishment by completely revamping the internal UIToolKit app. Teaming up closely with designers, I improved its look and feel, making it perfectly match the Design System in Figma. This initiative rectified many UI/UX inconsistencies and elevated the overall user experience.TDD Adherence: Strictly followed Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices to ensure the quality and reliability of the codebase.Feature Flag Implementation: Implemented feature flags in the development process to enable controlled and seamless feature rollouts.Trunk-Based Development: Followed a Trunk-Based Development approach to maintain a streamlined and efficient codebase.Team Growth Support: Contributed to the team's growth by reviewing applications, conducting interviews, and providing constructive feedback, playing a vital role in team expansion and development.On-call Duties: Prompted responded to incidents, conducted thorough investigations, and effectively resolved issues while maintaining thorough documentation.Team Collaboration: Actively worked with colleagues, regularly pairing and mobbing to boost skills and share knowledge within the team.User-Centric Approach: Prioritized tasks based on a short feedback cycle that collected data on user experiences, ensuring that development efforts aligned with user needs and preferences.

As a contractor with Audyo, I had the opportunity to work on their native iOS app built with SwiftUI and Combine. The app utilized a Redux-like architecture and was fully event-driven. My main focus was on the playback features, including the sleep timer and playback speed, as well as ensuring that recording events were accurately tracked as the user interacted with the app.Overall, this was a valuable and challenging experience that allowed me to further develop my skills in iOS development and architecting event-driven systems.

At FFW, I played a pivotal role in various projects, with a strong focus on software development best practices.• I emphasized the use of software design patterns and principles like the MVVM architecture, singleton pattern, and dependency injection to ensure efficient and maintainable code.• My commitment to excellence extended to code quality; I conducted code reviews to uphold the highest standards of reliability and maintainability.While I contributed to the success of various projects, one standout achievement was my role in developing the complete self-checkout feature for the BUDNI project:• I initiated a significant overhaul of the Home screen's layout using Firebase Remote Config and feature flags, optimizing the user experience.• My most substantial contribution was the ground-up development of the Self-Checkout feature. This feature allowed users to seamlessly scan product barcodes, perform real-time networking calls to retrieve product details and complete secure transactions. • I applied software design principles adhering to SOLID to ensure a scalable and maintainable architecture. This included implementing dependency injection, which not only enhanced testability but also promoted a scalable and maintainable codebase.• A strong emphasis on software quality was maintained throughout development. I implemented unit testing to ensure robustness and adopted the MVVM-C architectural pattern for a clean separation of concerns.• To maximize efficiency and consistency, I collaborated closely with Android developers, enabling the sharing of the entire feature's business logic across iOS and Android platforms through Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM).This experience with BUDNI exemplified my dedication to delivering impactful and technically sound solutions
