I’m a self-taught iOS developer. Since the middle of 2022, I have been learning Swift using Apple books and documentation, videos from WWDC sessions, and other resources. I have also been fortunate to receive guidance from a friend with five years of experience as an iOS developer, who reviews my code, points out mistakes, and advises on best practices in iOS development.

Since July 2023, I have been working as a freelancer. My role involves creating applications from scratch according to design specifications. So far, I have developed two applications. Currently, I am finishing work on my third app, which is designed for creating collages from photos.

Skills: Swift, MVC, Xcode, Swift Concurrency, GCD, UIKit, Foundation, Swift Package Manager, Core Data, Auto Layout, Layout in code, Core Animation, REST API, JSON parsing, Git, Photos, AVFoundation, SwiftLint.

Work experience: July 2023 - current time, Freelance

1. Collages - in development. An app where users can create custom collages from their photos. In this application, I encountered challenges due to the complex and multilayered layout logic, prompting me to delve deeper into this area. I studied and experimented with various approaches for building complex layouts by dynamically managing elements using Auto Layout and frame-based layout.

2.Colorize: An app aimed at reviving old photographs by enhancing their resolution and adding color. After improvements, users can further edit photos by cropping, rotating, flipping, adding text, and applying various filters. Finalized photos can be saved to the iPhone photo library or app library and shared across different platforms.

3. Crystal Recogniser: Designed to help users identify stones by taking a photo, which is then analyzed by an AI model to provide information about the stone. While working on this app, I gained foundational knowledge in app structure and flow. I learned how to set up the camera and capture photos with AVFoundation, and gained a good understanding of collection views and complex layouts.
