I build iOS apps, mobile platforms, and the teams behind them.
I'm a Tech Lead in Berlin. Right now I own the Core domain at Smartbroker, working across the iOS, Android, Web and Backend teams.
I've been writing software for about 20 years, first in Cairo, then Copenhagen, then Berlin. Most of that time went into iOS. Lately I spend more of it on architecture, release pipelines, and how teams can use AI tools without shipping more bugs.
