Summary
🤩
RockstarAlexander Schuch is a Vienna-based software engineer and manager with 13 years of experience building mobile and backend systems, particularly in Swift and iOS. He combines entrepreneurial drive with hands-on engineering, contributing notable open-source work such as Swift QR code generation, a polished on-disk cache library, and improvements to the widely used Moya networking framework. Comfortable across app-level state machines and lower-level networking/plugins, he has a track record of modernizing codebases for newer Swift versions and hardening APIs with tests. Outside code, he’s a Classic Mini driver — a hint that he values craftsmanship and tinkering both on and off the keyboard.

Contributions summary:Alexander primarily contributed to the implementation of a `StatefulViewController` framework. Their work involved defining the `StatefulViewControllerState` enum, creating a delegate protocol, and transitioning the view controller to various states such as loading, error, and empty. They refactored and improved the code in the view state machine, updated the demo project, and converted the project to use modern Swift syntax. They updated calls to deprecated rawValue, and improved the state machine and related state properties.
