Summary

I am a Senior iOS engineer with a product owner's mindset. I am passionate about delivering a cohesive and enjoyable mobile experience by writing clean and testable code. A lifelong learner, I specialize in pushing the limits of what a mobile app can do in service of the customer. I have led small teams, worked on mobile experiences used by millions, and would love the privilege of joining Buffer to make an impact on a global scale.
