ABOUT ME

Senior iOS Engineer | Mobile developer | Swift | SwiftUI | UIKit

Hi there! I’m a seasoned Senior iOS Engineer with over 10 years of experience delivering high-quality mobile products across fintech, banking, technology, outsourcing, and healthtech.
Throughout my career, I’ve built and maintained scalable Swift/SwiftUI frameworks, improved app performance and stability, and shipped features used by millions of users in fast-paced environments.

I’ve worked on complex ecosystems such as digital wallets, payments (Apple Pay, Tabapay, peer-to-peer transfers), onboarding, remote configuration, analytics, and internal enterprise apps. At Itaú Unibanco, Latin America’s largest private bank, I helped evolve core iOS frameworks, optimize user flows, enhance reliability, and modernize legacy components.
I’ve also contributed to U.S. fintech platforms like MyBambu, owning key features that increased user adoption, improved customer experience, and reduced defects across the app.

Across every project, I focus on building clean, well-structured solutions, collaborating closely with product and design teams, and delivering features that balance performance, usability, and long-term maintainability. I’m passionate about solving real-world problems, improving workflows, and continuously elevating the quality of the codebase and the final user experience.
