I extended a medically-necessary break to recharge and get ready for the next phase of my career. I've been catching up on technology, hobbies and health -- now I'm ready for something new and rewarding!

Led iOS Media Experience development:

* Team lead for iOS engineering efforts focused on the immersive media player where users consume video and image content on the Reddit app

* Process improvements for bug triage, customer support and on-call duty

* Team roadmap authorship; mentorship of junior and senior engineers; stewardship of best practices

Promoted SwiftUI adoption:

* Responsible for a renewed effort to build features using SwiftUI, including a set of explorations aimed at addressing common Reddit challenges

* Conversion of a key element of the full-bleed media player for comparison with UIKit, including analysis of utilization, performance and code maintainability

Spearheaded development of ubiquitously-deployed Facebook iOS SDK:

* Architectural improvements to support dependency inversion; design and implementation of a dependency injection solution

* Conversion of legacy Objective-C test and production code to Swift with minimal breaking changes for existing third-party developers

* Publishing of libraries as XCFrameworks

* Simplification of automated testing and building of products

Led new Metaverse SDK efforts for Apple platforms:

* Implementation of features that take advantage of Swift's language-level concurrency

* Design of new libraries

* Integration with development tools like Unity

* Creation of cross-platform sample application in SwiftUI

Contributed to non-technical efforts:

* Running of a survey across developers on each supported platform to assist in roadmapping efforts

* Reduction of workload for on-call engineers

* Mentoring of junior engineers

At Strava, I implemented major features for the iOS app such as:

* the detail interface for the new Local Legend feature

* the ability to report hate speech for various types of user-generated content

* a new group activity management interface

In addition, I have led or contributed to many guild-focused efforts, including:

* fostering learning of SwiftUI through presentations of custom-built training materials

* introducing the use of Combine into existing UIKit-based implementations

* developing a reactive/declarative strategy to be used for improving legacy code and building new features
