As the Lead iOS Developer at Shake Shack, I oversee a team, manage releases, and facilitate smooth communication between business and development. I maintain the codebase, enhance team efficiency as needed, mentor colleagues, and pinpoint areas for code and user experience enhancement.To expedite development, I developed a SwiftUI component library based on UI/UX designs, enabling rapid implementation of new UI changes. This initiative boosted team speed by over 30%, elevating average velocity from 5 to 10 points per developer (following Agile pointing methodologies 1, 3, 5, 7, 9).Furthermore, I elevated code coverage by coaching developers on writing testable code, resulting in a jump from 20% to 85% coverage. This enhancement not only fortified the codebase but also reduced crashes, leading to a remarkable increase in app stability—from 99.85% to 99.94% crash-free users—despite an average of 1.2 million weekly users.I spearheaded accessibility efforts, fostering collaboration between the development and UI/UX teams. Despite initial challenges, our joint efforts garnered heightened interest and investment in accessibility, attracting more users and facilitating the automation team in crafting end-to-end integration tests.

Upon joining the Shake Shack team as a Senior iOS developer, I quickly immersed myself in the codebase and made significant contributions within just two weeks.Once familiar with the codebase, I orchestrated a notable increase in team velocity by introducing modern development methodologies and integrating new iOS SDKs and technologies.Through a combination of team code reviews, fostering self-study among colleagues, and employing pair programming and time boxing techniques, I effectively reduced the application's crash rate from below 90% to over 99% stability.My dedication to team growth and advocacy earned me recognition and ultimately led to my promotion to lead developer. Our team also won a Webby award for our efforts.

In my role as a Senior iOS Consultant, I've had the opportunity to contribute to a variety of client projects across industries, including FinTech and Medical Insurance Providers.A highlight of my work was leading an iOS team in the development of a sales application, enabling franchisee owners to seamlessly transition from traditional pen-and-paper methods to digitized forms.Furthermore, I spearheaded the creation of a mobile insurance card dashboard, empowering insurance providers to accurately estimate procedure costs. Additionally, I implemented an emergency announcement system to streamline employee check-in and ensure their well-being.These experiences have allowed me to refine my leadership abilities and deliver innovative solutions to intricate challenges.
