Austin Ed

Senior iOS Engineer with 12 years of experience designing, building, and scaling native mobile products, with a strong focus on real estate and property technology. I specialise in delivering production-grade iOS applications that support high-traffic search and discovery, map-driven experiences, property detail journeys, lead generation, and account-driven flows—balancing performance, reliability, and a polished user experience.

I work extensively with Swift and SwiftUI, applying robust architectural patterns (modular MVVM, coordinator-based navigation, dependency injection) to keep codebases maintainable and testable. I have deep experience integrating RESTful APIs, secure authentication, Keychain, offline-first persistence using Core Data, and analytics/observability tooling such as Firebase. I pay close attention to performance (startup time, scrolling and rendering, networking efficiency), accessibility (Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, contrast compliance), and App Store quality standards.

In addition to hands-on engineering, I provide technical leadership across teams: shaping roadmaps, guiding architectural decisions, mentoring engineers through code reviews and pairing, and establishing engineering practices that improve delivery confidence (CI pipelines, automated testing, snapshot testing, release governance). I’m comfortable owning complex initiatives end-to-end—from ideation and scope definition through implementation, iterative refinement, staged rollouts, and post-release monitoring.

Whether you need to modernise a legacy iOS app, build new SwiftUI experiences, improve conversion and engagement across key real estate journeys, or strengthen reliability at scale, I bring the technical depth and leadership to deliver stable, high-impact outcomes.
