Blinkist iOS app is used by millions of people worldwide. 
I'm working in the mission team responsible for new users' experience. We improve and iterate the product in the most delicate and important phase of the user journey. Our team efforts have a direct impact on the app revenue and we also own and maintain the app authentication and purchases logic.

I'm part of my team Product Trio: an engineer, a designer, and a product manager. We are responsible for doing product discovery and finding what to build next.

I worked as a freelance iOS Developer for a few of clients, building native apps with Swift and SwiftUI.

I'm a co-founder of this app that was born inside Apple Developer Academy and it's now continuing to grow thanks to the effort of an amazing team of co-founders. I continue to contribute to the project as product lead, defining the overall strategy, and as iOS developer when needed.

Sunlitt has received many accolades by Apple: it's been showcased as App of the Day in many countries, included in various editor picks, and also invited to participate in the 2023 App Store Foundations program and 2023 Apple Entrepreneur Camp.

At the Academy I led a small team to bring two apps on App Store and I built many more prototypes to learn native iOS Development. During this year I also won the WWDC22 Swift Challenge.

Besides learning to develop for iOS with Swift and Apple frameworks and technologies, I also had a strong focus on soft skills. I practiced design thinking and user-centered development principles, while I also improved many soft skills like leadership, presentation, public speaking, teamwork, negotiation, and many more.

I took a sabbatical to focus on finishing my degree (summa cum laude). Then the pandemic started and I spent some time working on entrepreneurial side-projects and as a freelance while deciding how to transition my career in tech. Without pandemic-related complications, this break would have been around 10 months shorter.

I led the creation of the company's most popular product line to date. During this period we built and grew the company brand raising more than $1.4MM with Kickstarter, launching 4 products and building an outstanding community.

As first employee of the startup I worked on developing the new brand while analyzing the market and the customers to develop the right marketing and communications strategy for the company.
