Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAllen Ussher is an indie software developer and former senior engineer with 11+ years building high-quality iOS and Mac applications and shared UI frameworks at Microsoft, Zillow, and as an independent. He blends low-level C/C++ and Objective-C expertise with modern Swift, Node.js, Go, and cross-platform API design to ship production apps and backend services, including Zillow’s Self Tour and a rapid-launch iPhone app at Microsoft. Known for strong UX sensibilities and accessible design, he has improved experiences for blind and low-vision users and architected reusable UI components like the Office for iPad Ribbon. A believer in Lean practices, he focuses on eliminating waste, reducing risk early, and ensuring every task maps to a real customer need. Outside code, he brings a visual designer’s eye—drawing and acrylic painting inform his opinionated approach to interface polish.
