About me

I joined Flutter Entertainment as a Contractor Senior Software Engineer, primarily working on iOS and frontend development.

Contributions:

• Assisted the iOS team in migrating parts of existing web-based iOS applications into native iOS code, including feature implementation and code reviews for other contracting teams.
• Migrated a large in-house frontend platform from AngularJS (Angular 1) to a modern ReactJS stack using Redux and React Hooks.
• Rebuilt the Help & Support static website and improved the static site generation pipeline for Betfair Support.
• Migrated Cash Card & Cash Card Plus frontend functionality to a new ReactJS-based frontend architecture.
• Added new features to existing Vue.js and AngularJS applications, including authentication and role-based access control using Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL).

Specializing in development and consulting for modern web and cloud-based applications, including:

• ReactJS front-end development
• AWS-based architecture and solutions
• Node.js back-end services
• Microservices architecture
• Mobile application development for iOS

Experienced in designing, building, and maintaining scalable applications across full-stack and cloud environments.

ITBrainiacs is a program developed by Apex-Edu in collaboration with Telenav , designed to identify talented students and help them reach their full potential in software engineering.

The program pairs selected high-potential students with experienced software engineers in a structured 6-month one-on-one mentorship initiative.

Role & Contribution

• Mentored students in software development fundamentals and best practices
• Provided guidance on problem-solving, coding standards, and software engineering principles
• Supported mentees through hands-on learning, feedback sessions, and continuous technical coaching
• Helped bridge academic knowledge with real-world software development practices

During my time at Telenav,

I worked primarily as an iOS developer on the Scout navigation client, with a strong focus on Objective-C development.

I led a team of five developers, providing technical leadership and mentorship, maintaining coding standards through code reviews and documentation, and participating in technical interviews and hiring processes.

My responsibilities included designing and implementing new features, improving application stability and performance, and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver navigation and location-based functionality.

From mid-2016, I transitioned into a new team focused on developing a cross-platform desktop application using Qt, C++, QML, and JavaScript.

While at 3Pillar Global I was part of a cross site team (Cluj, Timisoara and US) working on Geico's insurance mobile apps.

This was a complex and high-responsibility project involving sensitive data such as payments and personal user information, requiring strong focus on security, reliability, and compliance. I collaborated closely with distributed teams across multiple time zones to design, develop, and deliver features while maintaining consistent quality across releases.

I was part of a smaller iOS engineering team working on a companion application for portable navigation devices (PNDs). Focused on real-time device communication, mapping features, and performance-critical mobile rendering.

Contributions

• Implemented communication between PND and iOS devices using Google Protocol Buffers for efficient data serialization.
• Developed Bluetooth-based communication channels between devices.
• Implemented and maintained In-App Purchase functionality.
• Integrated multiple web services into the mobile application.
• Implemented weather alert overlays on maps using OpenGL rendering.

At skobbler,

I was part of a large team of iOS and C++ developers building location-based applications powered by OpenStreetMap.

Some of the products I contributed to included GPS Navigation, ForeverMap, GeoBrain, and Blitzer.de.

Contributions

• Contributed to the development and continuous improvement of mobile navigation applications used by millions of users.
• Designed and implemented reusable components to support scalability and maintainability across projects.
• Performed code reviews and helped maintain high engineering and code quality standards within the team.
• Collaborated closely with the QA department to identify, track, and resolve software defects.
• Participated in Scrum ceremonies and agile planning sessions as part of an iterative development process.

QA / Mobile Testing Responsibilities

• Performed testing across multiple handheld devices and platforms, including Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, and Nokia devices.
• Automated manual test cases for mobile platforms, primarily Android and iOS.
• Designed, created, and executed test cases for mobile applications and device-specific functionality.
• Built testing environments to simulate real-world usage scenarios and operating conditions.
• Collected diagnostic information and extracted relevant logs to investigate and troubleshoot issues identified during testing.
• Reported and tracked defects using Jira.
• Maintained and updated test cases based on evolving project requirements and test plans.
• Worked independently with minimal supervision while managing testing responsibilities and delivery timelines.
• Provided release assessments and quality sign-offs to support production deployments.
