  • Delivered 2000+ paid 1:1 mentoring sessions (typically 60 min) with a 5.0/5 rating across 1000+ clients.
  • Resolved 1–2 production issues per hour-long session on average, spanning performance, architecture, concurrency, and debugging of complex iOS systems.
  • Maintained under 10 minute response time during peak availability and achieved over 99.5% issue resolution rate. Majority repeat clients (over 80%), reflecting high trust and effectiveness.
Full Stack Engineer (iOS + Node.js)Fext
2024 – 2025
  • Increased trial-to-paid conversion by 95% and reduced onboarding drop-off by 37% for a SMS marketing platform for small businesses, through targeted UX and core user flow optimizations.
  • Designed and built the full stack from scratch and then implemented a pivot away from Twilio (due to regulatory changes). Redesigned user flows (on-device delivery) using Swift and UIKit, improving usability and conversions.
  • Helped to focus down the scope - saved 4 weeks of development. Provided extensive support after delivery.
  • Integrated Firebase, Twilio, and RevenueCat, implemented text scheduling and delivery on the backend (Node.js).
iOS Engineer (SDK & Infrastructure)Intelligent Business Platforms
2022 – 2024
  • Architected and built an AI-powered iOS application using SwiftUI and structured concurrency, focused on real-time data processing and scalable workflows.
  • Developed and maintained a Swift SDK for BigParser, enabling efficient integration with large-scale tabular data systems. Open source, available at: github.com/intellibus/bigparser-swift
  • Engineered complex data pipelines integrating Whisper API, ChatGPT API, AWS services, and BigParser - including streaming, transcription, and automated summarization workflows.
  • Built robust networking layer with background task orchestration, upload/download managers, and resilient session handling for long-running operations.
iOS EngineerBrigham and Women’s Hospital
2021 – 2022
  • Spearheaded the development of new UI/UX features in SwiftUI for the SPARKLE clinical research application, enhancing user engagement and accessibility for residents in the Medicine and Surgery programs.
  • Optimized data handling and state management across complex UI flows, implementing a robust record caching system and refactoring API usage, which significantly improved application responsiveness and data consistency.
  • Collaborated directly with clinicians and product teams at a Harvard-affiliated institution to integrate critical research and education-focused features.
Senior iOS/watchOS Engineer (SDK & Infrastructure)Hippocrates Technologies (TheraForge)
2019 – 2021
  • Architected and engineered the TheraForge SDK ecosystem (open source, available at github.com/TheraForge), a reusable HealthTech framework adopted by enterprise partners (including Tec4med and Middle East College) to accelerate FDA-grade digital health application development.
  • Developed OTFCDTDatastore, an offline-first NoSQL storage engine based on IBM Cloudant. Implemented AES-256 encryption-at-rest and granular iOS File Protection levels to ensure HIPAA/GDPR compliance.
  • Engineered OTFCloudantStore, a high-performance integration layer bridging Apple HealthKit, CareKit, and ResearchKit with the IBM Cloudant sync engine, enabling seamless multi-device synchronization of complex health datasets.
  • Optimized background processing for continuous health data ingestion, implementing synchronization while adhering to strict iOS background execution limits and power management constraints.
  • Built OTFCloudClientAPI, a robust RESTful interface supporting secure authentication, Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time updates, and end-to-end encrypted document management.
  • Maintained enterprise-grade forks of Apple’s CareKit and ResearchKit, extending them with custom aggregators, query parameters, and watchOS support to meet the requirements of large-scale clinical research and remote patient monitoring initiatives.
Senior iOS/watchOS DeveloperProactive Life, Inc.
2018 – 2019
