iOS Experience
App Development Journey
I've been developing iOS applications since the Corona Virus pandemic, focusing on creating intuitive and impactful user experiences. My journey began with Swift and UIKit. Then, I started to learn SwiftUI and embrace the latest iOS frameworks and design patterns. My expertise includes:
- Swift & SwiftUI for modern, declarative interfaces
- UIKit for robust application architecture
- Firebase for database and authentication
- Canva and Figma for UI/UX design
- Push Notifications and background processing
App Store Success
Currently, I have 4 apps on the App Store, each solving unique problems and receiving positive user feedback. Initially, I build apps for my personal use. Then, I started to build apps for my friends and family. Note that I use my apps everyday and constantly improve them. Notable achievements:
- Maintained a 4.7+ star average rating
- Constantly shipping updates to my apps
- Built a loyal user base with high retention rates
- All apps are free to download
- Fast response to user feedback
AI Experience
AI Integration
Since ChatGPT's groundbreaking launch, I've been captivated by AI's transformative potential and have made it an integral part of my daily workflow. From accelerating development cycles and enhancing code quality to conducting comprehensive market research and competitive analysis, AI tools have become my secret weapon for building innovative solutions. Key areas of focus:
- Code generation: for faster development cycles and enhanced code quality
- Image generation: for entertainment and experimentation
- Personalization: Recommendation systems for personalized user experiences
- Market research: anticipate user needs and market trends to drive product decisions and user engagement
AI Models Research
I'm constantly expanding my knowledge in the AI field, staying updated with the latest research and technologies. I believe AI will fundamentally transform how we interact with software, and I'm excited to be part of this evolution. Recent explorations:
- ChatGPT: best at creativity, slow at speed
- LLaMA: fast at speed, but not as creative
- Claude: best at writing, slow at speed
- Grok: great sources of information from X
- Gemini: Google but faster and more intuitive
- DeepSeek: cheap but fast, espicially for developers
- Perplexity: best for research with citations
Hobbies
Outdoor Activities
When I'm not coding, I love spending time outdoors. Hiking through scenic trails gives me the perfect balance to my tech-focused work life. I try to explore a new trail at least twice a month, finding that these experiences often spark creative solutions to coding challenges.
I'm also an avid runner, participating in several half-marathon events annually. The discipline and endurance required for running directly translates to my approach to complex development projects.
Fitness & Sports
Maintaining physical fitness is important to me. I have a regular gym routine that helps me stay energized and focused. Weight training and high-intensity interval workouts form the core of my fitness regimen.
Recently, I've developed a passion for Pickleball – a fun, strategic sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It's become my favorite way to socialize while staying active.
Continuous Learning
I consider learning itself a hobby. I'm constantly taking online courses, reading business books, and seeking new app ideas. This perpetual learning mindset keeps me at the cutting edge of technology.
Beyond tech, I enjoy watching Disney movies and books on business, which often provide interesting perspectives that influence my approach to product development and innovation.
