Lead Mobile developer @ jpg.store. Previously iOS at  & many more!

I'm a Lead Mobile Developer with a track record of delivering creative and engaging solutions for various industries, including fintech (Brubank), retail (Apple), online collaboration (Mural), machine learning (Austrian Institute of Technology), education (Mimo) and consulting firms (Theorem & Wolox).

I have a strong educational background, with a degree in software engineering from ITBA (Argentina, 2017) and a master's degree in software engineering from UAS Technikum Wien (Austria, 2018). I'm currently pursuing a degree in philosophy at USAL since 2021.

I'm interested in technical lead positions and have a proven track record in:

- Mentoring and coaching other developers (https://www.codementor.io/franciscodepascuali)

- Conducting code reviews

- Assessing candidates through technical interviews.

- Leading and proposing architectural decisions for client-facing problems.

- Working with complex problems, such as sockets in online collaboration, augmented reality apps, and - Apple's proprietary technology (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/multipeerconnectivity).

- Delivering workshops and talks on Combine, Rx, App Architecture, Coordinators, and Unit Testing.

- Configuring and building automation workflows for different apps using Bitrise, Jenkins and Fastlane. - I've documented some of my work on my blog https://deep-thought.netlify.com/posts/using-docker-fastlane.

I'm proud of my professional accomplishments, which include:

- An honorable mention at UAS Technikum Wien for my Master Thesis in Machine Learning

- First place in a hackathon organized by Wolox featuring an app that allows you to control and fight against other drones

- Talks at the SwiftBA meetup.

- Contributed to Brubank (4.7 stars in App Store), Mural (4.8 stars), Apple (in retail technologies non-disclosable work) and Mimo (4.8 stars).

I'm proficient in various technologies, including:

- Over 4 years of experience with React Native.

- Over 8 years of experience with Swift, SwiftUI, and Objective-C, including mastery of Rx technologies (RxSwift and Combine) and application of multiple design patterns (Coordinators, MVC, MVVM, Unit testing, crash reporting, CI, automation, storyboards and programmatic views).

- Over 2 years of experience in Python and Machine Learning (AI), where I worked and helped advance the state of the art in synthetic dataset generation for object detection.

- Other tools like Firebase, Firestore, Splunk, and Bitrise (CI).

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to learn more about me.

Cheers!

As a lead mobile developer in react native, my primary responsibility is to design and develop high-quality, scalable, and user-friendly mobile applications for iOS and Android platforms using the react native framework. I work closely with the product manager and cross-functional teams to understand the requirements and translate them into functional and visually appealing mobile applications. I am also responsible for leading a team of mobile developers and ensuring that the project is delivered on time and within budget. I provide technical guidance and support to my team members and review their code to ensure that it meets the required standards. In addition to my technical skills, I have excellent communication and leadership skills and can effectively coordinate with various stakeholders to ensure the smooth functioning of the project. I am constantly learning and staying up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in mobile development to ensure that the applications I build are of the highest quality.

I've edited and developed complex fastlane setups, that includes: 1. Setting up docker to be able to build the backend for integration tests. 2. iOS certificates using Match. 3. Deploy versions to TestFlight, AppCenter, Firebase using Bitrise, Jenkins && other. 4. Nice-have automation tips like post a message to slack when the build is done, have a link to the build so the QA team can install it directly on their phone. Wrote some posts about complex fastlane setups: https://deep-thought.netlify.app/posts/using-docker-fastlane https://deep-thought.netlify.app/posts/open-app-multiple-simulators

As a Lead Mobile Developer at JPG Store, I'm responsible for leading the development of our mobile app using React Native. I work closely with our team to design, build and maintain a high-performance and user-friendly app. My main focus is to ensure our app is reliable, scalable and well-structured.

I have a deep understanding of React Native and its ecosystem, and I make use of the latest technologies and frameworks like react-query, storybooks, flashList, hooks and other tools to deliver high-quality and responsive apps.

I also conduct code reviews and contribute to the development of our automated testing and continuous integration pipeline, built with GitHub actions. Thus allowing us to automate the release process, making it faster and more efficient, and publishing to different environments with ease.

Worked with Apple Retail, coding in different projects that involved App Store experiences. I contributed to different systems that consisted of multiple iOS devices connecting with each other, building a mesh of devices using Apple's proprietary technology. The devices are meant to be kept on the wall, so challenges regarding memory issues && performance had to be taken care of to ensure a smooth experience. The technologies used consist mainly on Swift, targeting iPhone and iPads.

I'm working at Brubank (https://brubank.com/), an digital bank in Argentina with the aim of changing how traditional banking works. We don't have physical branches offices, so it's critical that the user experience is effective. In Brubank I am focusing on iOS development, performing code reviews, and focusing on good practices such as automated tests with Bitrise & Fastlane. I also set up code signing with Fastlane's Match and I'm helping with my experience on Rx and MVVM.
