Top SchoolAlan Kantz-durand is a Senior iOS Engineer with 10 years of experience building customer-facing mobile experiences and shipping production apps for enterprises and startups from New York.

He invents pragmatic engineering patterns—like his Two-Step Codable technique—to simplify complex JSON encoding/decoding and improve maintainability across teams. An entrepreneur at heart, he designed and shipped TimerSwipe to the App Store and has hands-on experience spanning networking abstractions, backend pinch-hits, and developer-facing tooling.
