👤
SeniorAdam Wolf is an engineering manager in San Francisco with 17 years of experience building mobile and cross-platform software and leading teams that scale developer experience and stability for large mobile organizations. He currently manages the team responsible for the health and scalability of Robinhood’s iOS and Android codebases and previously drove architecture and tooling as a staff iOS engineer at Lyft and Robinhood. Adam pairs hands-on platform engineering—evident from deep open-source work improving KiCad’s macOS support and Python/wxWidgets modernization—with product-minded mobile development, including contributions to AnkiDroid and his own iOS apps. He’s comfortable across mobile, backend, and build systems, and has a knack for untangling platform-specific build and compatibility problems (including Apple Silicon packaging). Based in the Bay Area, he combines technical leadership, developer tooling expertise, and a hobbyist web lab where he experiments with new user-facing ideas.
