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.
