ABOUT ME
Lead iOS Developer, 15 years programming experience, 5+ years iOS.
Lead iOS Developer, 15 years programming experience, 5+ years iOS.
I'm an experienced developer who's worked on a number of mobile and Web platforms over more than a decade. Since 2010 I've been focused exclusively on iOS, including iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Based in San Francisco, I've built apps for a number of high profile startups, and have shipped over half a dozen of my own indie titles as well.
Currently I'm a lead developer at E*TRADE, a well known brokerage whose iOS app is used by millions of stock traders around the world. I've also taught mobile development courses at General Assembly, an internationally known coding bootcamp. I enjoy teaching and mentoring other developers, regardless of their experience level.
I spend my spare time being a budding musician and practicing guitar.

By far the best mentor i've dealt with on codementor, he is the standard. Explains everything very well, takes the time to understand what your project is and then will walk you through solutions.

Mel has excellent knowledge in core data and he was able to understand architecture of our app very quickly (which we assume is pretty complex) and he also pointed out few minor (though important) changes that will def help us in getting into any future issues.
Overall experience was good.
