• Drove a 9% lift in paid order volume and 8.1% increase in paid buyers by architecting and launching "Neighborhood Filters" feature enabling users to filter search results by specific boroughs and scaling the feature across all global locales.

• Boosted "Event Likes" engagement by 49.3% by redesigning the iOS Search experience with a new Grid Card layout and improved information hierarchy, successfully validating high-intent user behaviors.

• Led the integration of GenAI/LLM features into mobile search, developing a Natural Language Search Chatbot and Event Autocomplete to capture high-intent user queries.

• Executed 14+ high-velocity A/B tests using Statsig (including Price Visibility, Map Views, and UI overhauls), utilizing data to permanently adopt successful features like the "Pill UX" search bar while deprecating low-impact features to minimize technical debt.

• Optimized mobile revenue strategy by collaborating with Data Science to rigorously test checkout flows, resulting in the strategic rollout of high-value features and the reversion of metric-negative experiments to protect CVR and paid orders.

LEX is a platform that turns real estate buildings into public stocks. As the Founding iOS Engineer, I spearheaded the development of LEX’s real-time investment platform. I owned the complete technical roadmap, transforming a concept into a scalable, secure fintech product. I designed the app architecture to handle complex financial states while ensuring 99.9% uptime and high-performance rendering for stock charts.

• Architected and launched the LEX iOS app from 0-to-1, serving as the sole engineer responsible for the entire mobile lifecycle, from system design to App Store deployment.

• Reduced application memory footprint by 90% by engineering a custom internal Design System and optimizing reusable UI components, significantly preventing memory leaks and UI stutter.

• Delivered real-time financial data visualization by integrating Socket.io, enabling sub-second updates for live stock charts and improving investor engagement.

• Built critical Fintech infrastructure, implementing secure ACH financial transactions, Biometric Authentication (FaceID/TouchID), and regulatory compliance features.

• Established QA and CI/CD protocols from the ground up, implementing Root Cause Analysis (CAPA) workflows that stabilized the app and minimized production crashes.

Tech Stack: Swift, UIKit, Socket.io, Core Animation, Biometrics (LocalAuthentication), XCTest, Instruments (Memory Graph Debugger)

• Mentored a cohort of 28 university students through a rigorous, industry-standard iOS curriculum (Swift, UIKit, Networking), resulting in a 94% course completion rate.

• Directed the technical delivery of student capstone projects, guiding teams from ideation to App Store submission by providing architectural feedback and conducting weekly code reviews.

• Served as Technical Program Manager, coordinating cross-functional logistics and streamlining communication between students, university stakeholders, and industry mentors to ensure program success.

• Accelerated student learning by debugging complex technical roadblocks during office hours, effectively translating advanced engineering concepts (e.g., Auto Layout, API integration) for junior developers.

Selected as a Tech Fellow to support and mentor students across CodePath’s iOS engineering programs.

• Provided 1:1 and group mentorship on iOS development, code structure, and debugging, helping students complete real-world projects.

• Reviewed and improved student apps with feedback on architecture, UI/UX, networking, and performance.

• Delivered technical workshops on Swift, MVC/MVVM, APIs, and local persistence.

• Identified early blockers and guided teams through technical challenges to keep projects on track.

• Fostered a strong learning culture through collaborative sessions, guidance, and encouragement.

Operated as a full-cycle iOS consultant, helping startups and businesses transform raw ideas into published App Store products. I managed the end-to-end engineering process—from wireframing and architecture design to final submission. Focused on delivering robust, crash-free applications using Swift and Objective-C, while effectively managing scope and client expectations to ensure timely delivery.
