Squad Lead and Senior iOS developer

I always loved technology and everything related to it, astronomy, science and sci-fi… It’s hard to explain, it just gets me all excited, I consider myself very fortunate to be doing something I really love to do.

I started my career as an iOS developer back in 2011, I never dreamed of being a mobile developer. I didn’t even own a mobile device. I was so amazed at the things I could do with a simple phone that I fell in love with mobile.

I’ve learned so much working in NTH. This was a fast paced company where we never knew what the next project would bring. We worked with some big shots, like Toyota and BOSCH, I’ve worked on those projects and I always love to remember them because I’ve worked with some great people, and we managed to create something that’s used by tens of thousands of users. After a couple of years, I got promoted to a team lead position. I really liked my new team and enjoyed working with them.

After a quick excursion in Java, I got an interesting offer from Fleetmatics. It seemed like a good challenge, so I’ve decided to accept it. And here we are. I’ve been here since 2014, and I have to say, this is not a company for me, it’s a family. One of the biggest challenges for me was refactoring the Reveal app and moving it to hybrid Swift/ObjC. In the meantime, we’ve delivered a greenfield app called Field, and now I’m working on another greenfield app called Logbook.

I’ve learned a lot about refactoring and backend iOS development in Fleetmatics, and I found I liked it. Lately, I started working on this blog that focuses on this topic, I’ve also created a Mac OS X app iOS AdHoc Manager, feel free to take a look at it as well.
