Career Summary
I am a lead iOS developer with extensive experience having worked on over 40 different purpose,
award winning apps ranging from small games to in house enterprise solutions and 200 000+
download products.
Running my own development agency with tens of satisfied customers around the world, working
by myself and as part of big and small development teams taught me a variety of skills in
proposing, designing, implementing and overseeing development of solutions to satisfy customer
needs as well as collaborating with other programmers, designers and project managers to create
complex applications.
Joining a number of projects at different stages in the development cycle I learned to familiarise
with the project setup, structure and logic quickly so I am able to come on board for any project at
any stage of completion and begin contributing from day one from shaping ideas to coding and
submitting to the app store.
