Category: Lead
English level: upper
Years of experience: 8

Developed (successfully according to users feedback) 5 native apps from scratch, using required design patterns and architecture principles. 
Took over a team of 10 members and keep things great in the team (according to the feedback again).
I'm an Engineering Manager with 8+ years of experience in frontend development.  Passioned about the new technologies, trends, and successful results achieved.

Started my IT path as a Web Developer. Was working with PHP and JavaScript languages on my first project. Not on my will (but with acceptance), was switched to native iOS/Android development. 

Objective C and iOS development became my major stack. Developed (from scratch, having API only) and was responsible (new features, performance improvements) for 3 native iOS apps. It was a national mass media project, so the mistake price was extremely high.

Started at the new company as a Senior iOS Developer (5+ years). Released 3 more native apps, (made from nothing, having some kind of API). Investigated some cross-platform technologies by that time (React Native, Flutter), CI/CD processes and was working closely with other iOS and Frontend/Fullstack developers as the team grows.

Afterward, was promoted to the Tech Lead position (Mobile). Eventually, ended up in the Team Lead position, managing (helping to survive) 10 team members' band. Started to investigate more managers' responsibilities, hiring new people, onboarding them, leading and inspiring, etc. 

In 3 months has the title changed to Engineering Manager since has to be technically involved on the top level. Actively improving web technologies bits of knowledge (JS, Node.js) with my own will and for being aware of the latest trends there. In meanwhile, discovering leadership and the latest management technologies (always trying to make fun though, like helping people avoid unnecessary meetings). Would like to develop communication and long-term planning skills (training like mentors from Plato service) and make people happy on the daily basis.



A short description to summarize:

iOS (Objective-C/Swift) Developer 7+ years.
Mobile Tech Lead (native iOS/Android) 2+ years.

It must be something inspiring, modern, and very complicated to bring more challenges/bottlenecks to struggle with
