iOS player-coach who led end-to-end development of real-time customer support chat and unified notification systems for T-Mobile’s iOS app using SwiftUI, Firebase, WebSockets, and Core Data (including offline handling). Drove measurable reliability/latency gains (~30%) through a major notification refactor and owned a high-severity push-notification incident from rollback through RCA and backward-compatible hotfix, while also scaling team process and people management.
