James Valaitis is an iOS-first mobile app developer and currently a senior software engineer at Kraken Technologies.

I've been developing iOS apps for 13 years, starting with Objective-C, Cocoa Touch, and the iOS 5 SDK. I am excitedly embracing the new features, frameworks, and languages as they are released. I've been using Swift since its release 11 years ago and SwiftUI for its 6-year existence.

I've worked mostly in start-up companies, leading their mobile effort, but I have since joined a much larger organisation, Octopus Energy, and relish leading a high-impact mobile product.

I've also worked on Kotlin Multiplatform applications and Python backends, and I am skilled enough to read and understand codebases in other languages.

I've worked on popular magazine apps read by combined millions of people, a research paper collection and dissertation tool, a food delivery app, social media applications, a ticket-sales app, a B2B ticket scanning app, a B2B field sales app, and a hub of energy and gas usage.
