About

Last updated: April 2024.

👋 I'm an iOS developer based in London. iOS was what originally got me into programming over 10 years ago: I released my first app on the App Store in 2011, and I've since written and independently released five more.

I'm currently a senior software engineer (ICT4) at Apple, working on media UI components for iOS (across Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, etc).

From 2021 to 2023, I was the Software Lead at Carv, a smart ski coach combining in-boot hardware with in-app coaching. As part of this role I worked directly on Carv's iOS and Rust codebases, whilst supporting the software organization as a whole and helping set technical direction for the business.

Prior to this, I was a senior software engineer (L5) at Google, working on a variety of parts of the Google Fit iOS app, a fitness tracking application integrating with data from HealthKit, iPhone/Apple Watch, and Wear OS devices. I worked on this project from its inception in 2017.

Earlier in my career, I spent two years working on the AIM buy-side order management system at Bloomberg, focusing on trade allocation and IRS/CDS lifecycle management.

I have an MA in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge (Gonville and Caius College, 2012-2015).
