Work
Nine roles since I started in March 2014, newest first.
-
2026
BeReal
Senior iOS Engineer
Memories squad
One of a three-person squad behind Memories, Profile, Widgets and Recaps, in an app with about 40 million monthly users.
I cut the Memories grid’s scroll hitches by about 30% and halved its startup hang, measured in Instruments. I traced about 20,000 crashes a week to a threading race in the data layer; the fix shipped and the crashes dropped. I built the two Memories widgets with the squad and began moving Recaps into its own modules.

2025
Symphony
Senior iOS Engineer
I built the iOS app for an on-device photo curation proof of concept in about three months, as the only mobile engineer.
It finds duplicates across a whole photo library, sorts travel photos into multiple categories and picks the ones worth keeping, all on the phone.

2025–now
Infinum
Senior iOS Engineer, contract
One of two iOS engineers on a business banking app (NDA), covering payments and cards.
I built its digital onboarding flow in SwiftUI; opening an account used to need a branch visit.

2020
Insight Timer
iOS Engineer, contract, part-time
Hired directly to build the Home Screen widgets and the App Clip for a meditation app with over 30 million users, in about two months, just as iOS 14 introduced both.
The widgets shipped in the iOS 14 launch window and are still in the app.

2017–25
Widex
Senior Engineer, Tech Lead, then iOS Product Architect
WS Audiology, through InScale
Seven and a half years on Widex’s hearing-aid apps for iPhone and Apple Watch. I joined as a senior engineer, became iOS tech lead, then iOS product architect, and was technical lead of the iOS team as it grew to 15 engineers in five teams across Denmark, Germany, India and North Macedonia.
I worked on Widex Moment from the start, a CES 2023 Innovation Awards honoree, and redesigned its iPhone and Apple Watch messaging as a generic layer that was later reused across the apps as a shared package.
I led Widex Allure, the redesigned app for a new generation of hearing aids, from its start to release, and its move to feature modules, so teams could work in parallel and the next app could reuse them. I set code standards, mentored engineers, and built the hiring process with the chapter lead.

2017–now
The Clic App
Lead iOS Engineer, freelance, part-time
A social app for making friends. I built it from the first commit in 2017 for its founder, Andrew McKay, when it was called Friendly.
I’m still its only iOS developer, nine years on, and I’m moving it to SwiftUI and Swift Concurrency now.
-
2015–24
Povio
iOS Engineer, contract, part-time
On and off for over eight years, brought in when a team needed an extra experienced engineer.
Via Regalo, Hyperice, Bellabeat and Verbz.ai along the way. The last, in 2024, was one problem on a client app, Autobiographer: a swipeable chapter reader that lays long text out into pages, the way Apple Books does.

2014–17
3P Development
Intern, Junior, then Experienced iOS Engineer
Where it started: intern in March 2014, Experienced iOS Engineer by October 2015. One of three iOS engineers, working directly with clients on calls and estimates from early on.
I led the iOS work on client apps, including a ResearchKit cancer study for Mount Sinai through Thread, a Bluetooth diabetes dosage logger for Novo Nordisk, and iiStyle, a fashion app.
I also won Startup Weekend Skopje in 2014, best mobile app and best UI/UX at Codefest 2015, and 3P’s S.T.A.R. Award.
