iOS Developer

Professional Summary

iOS Developer with 6 years building native apps in Swift and SwiftUI for consumer products, specialising in smooth performance and clean architecture. I led an MVVM rewrite that cut crash rate 80% and shipped a SwiftUI redesign that improved App Store rating from 4.1 to 4.6. I follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and write testable, maintainable Swift.

Key Achievements

Led an MVVM-C rewrite of a 200k-line codebase that reduced crash rate 80% and eased feature delivery

Shipped a SwiftUI redesign that lifted App Store rating from 4.1 to 4.6 across 120k reviews

Cut app launch time 42% by deferring non-critical initialisation and optimising the dependency graph

Increased unit-test coverage from 30% to 78%, catching regressions before release and stabilising the app

Integrated StoreKit 2 subscriptions and App Store Server Notifications, raising subscriber retention 11%

Reduced memory footprint 35% by fixing retain cycles surfaced through Instruments profiling

Automated TestFlight and App Store releases with Fastlane, cutting release effort from a day to 30 minutes

Education

iOS Developer roles favour demonstrable Swift skill and shipped apps over a specific degree. List any CS qualification briefly and link to App Store apps you built, plus a focused GitHub showing idiomatic Swift if you are early-career.

Industry Note

iOS hiring managers value idiomatic Swift, clean architecture, and App Store quality, so cite crash rates, ratings, launch times, and test coverage. Familiarity with the latest SwiftUI and concurrency features signals you keep current with Apple's platform. In UAE and EU, experience with localisation, RTL, and App Store compliance for regional markets is a useful edge.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Show both, but lead with SwiftUI for modern roles while demonstrating UIKit depth for maintaining existing apps. Many production codebases still mix the two.

Yes. A live App Store link to an app you built is the most persuasive evidence on an iOS CV, more so than any list of frameworks.

Name the pattern (MVVM, VIPER, Clean) and the outcome it produced, such as reduced crashes or faster feature delivery, rather than just naming it.

Increasingly yes. Quantifying test coverage and the regressions it prevented signals engineering maturity that distinguishes senior iOS developers.

It helps for maintaining legacy code and is worth listing if you have it, but Swift is now the primary expectation for nearly all new iOS roles.
