In 2018, I decided to refresh my technical skills and I chose iOS Development as my focus. I have studied Swift and its surrounding technologies in depth. Areas of study included the iOS SDK and APIs as well as its build system, relevant languages, and ancillary tools and frameworks (Presidio, RxSwift...).As a member of the Rider Mobile Platform team, I helped empowering 3rd party developers to build moving experiences through the Uber API: - Key contributor of the Rider app rebranding and user flow revamp (home screen, location shortcuts...) - Brough technical improvements to multiple platform components: bottom sheet SDK, localizations of legal consents, Siri & Apple Maps usage through Intents APIs, dependency removal between modules - Designed and implemented a cross-app image annotation library, integrated in the issue reporting module, in order to de-dupe generated tickets - Architected the logging of screens impressions and tap actions performed by an end-user into a breadcrumb trail structure, in order to ease issues investigations - Improving team efficiency through better triage and on-call processes, best practices (RxSwift, memory management...), and contributions to existing frameworks
