At WellTech, I noticed that developers were wasting time building tons of similar screens. So, I came up with a game-changing idea—a server-driven UI framework. I implemented it, and it saved the company loads of time and money.  With help of that framework, content managers could add new screens to the app themselves. There was no need to write new code. 
To add a new screen, you just add a JSON schema on the server, and users would see it instantly.
iOS developer, Snapchat
2021 - 2022

As an iOS engineer at Snapchat, I worked with a large distributed team of 800 people and learned valuable lessons for my future as a project manager. 
The app's modular structure, collaborative product management, and self-organizing teams impressed me. Clear expectations, regular performance reviews, and monthly counselling meetings created a positive work culture. 
Snapchat's organization and resources enabled me to excel without meeting fatigue. 
I'm excited to apply these insights as a project manager and create successful, positive teams.

iOS developer, WellTech
2019 - 2021

During my time as an iOS engineer at WellTech, I was a member of the Health&Fitness team. We created two awesome apps, Omo and FastEasy, taking them all the way from idea to the App Store. Plus, I got to maintain a few other projects too.
The environment was fast-paced, and it really fueled my creativity. One day, I noticed that developers were wasting time building tons of similar screens. So, I came up with a game-changing idea—a server-driven UI framework. I implemented it, and it saved the company loads of time and money. I'm proud of that solution!
Our teams were small, just 2-3 developers, and we worked closely with a product manager. Time-to-market was everything for us. It taught me the importance of defining a clear MVP, focusing on the most valuable features, and cutting out any unnecessary stuff.
This experience gave me deep insights into the agile and rapid development cycles and a user-centric mindset.

macOS developer, MacPaw
2017 - 2019

As a macOS engineer at MacPaw I had the awesome opportunity to be part of the CleanMyMac team (you can still find my name in the app's "about" section!). MacPaw is all about people and quality, and they truly understand that happy and empowered teams deliver the best results.
One thing that impressed me was a dedicated team of Agile Coaches. At MacPaw, I had the opportunity to witness the successful implementation of Scrum in action. I actively participated in planning poker, presented demos to stakeholders, and even  got the chance to step up and facilitate meetings a few times.
I observed the company's growth and transition to a matrix structure. Our team also became larger, prompting the need to split into smaller Scrum Teams.
The practical knowledge I gained as an engineer will undoubtedly be a major asset as I embark on my journey as a project manager.
I'm an experienced iOS/macOS engineer with a passion for creating awesome features, frameworks, and rock-solid architecture. 
Now, I'm ready to take a next step in my career and transition into a manager role where I can build processes, foster a safe and inspiring workplace, and help people unleash their full potential. 
I thrive on embracing change and I understand the ins and outs of scaling tech companies. 
With my engineering expertise and communication skills, I'm eager to use my deep understanding of developers’ needs to create an environment where exceptional results go hand-in-hand with a fun-filled atmosphere.
