About
I’m Anis Amirouche, a Lead iOS Engineer with 11+ years in software engineering and nearly 7 years focused on mobile products.
My recent work combines hands-on native iOS engineering with technical leadership across investigation, architecture and implementation decisions, task decomposition, and code review. I work across Swift, Objective-C, UIKit modernization, application architecture, performance and runtime, secure networking and authentication, native SDK integrations, WidgetKit, WebView, and production reliability.
I also bring deep React Native platform experience and previous Android experience, which helps me handle complex boundaries between native iOS and shared mobile infrastructure while keeping an iOS-first perspective. I’m particularly interested in senior and lead iOS roles involving architecture, platform modernization, security, performance, and complex system integration.
