Top SchoolAaron Pearce is a Senior iOS Developer with 13 years of experience building polished, maintainable apps and leading teams through product transitions and process improvements. Based in Rotorua, New Zealand, he combines deep Swift and Objective-C expertise with a strong emphasis on readable, extensible code and CI/CD-driven workflows. He has shipped consumer and enterprise apps—from HomeKit-focused products that earned press attention to a DeviantArt Sta.sh image manager acquired by the platform—and has guided teams at DeviantArt, GOGOVAN, and Kinzoo. As a hands-on lead he has defined iOS standards, introduced SwiftUI practices, and mentored teams while managing build and release pipelines. An active open-source contributor, he improved UI and app flow in the well-known CocoaPods app by refining console UX and sidebar behaviors. He balances product intuition with technical craft, often turning messy legacy systems into maintainable, long-lived codebases.
