Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrice Pollock is an experienced iOS engineer and founder with 11 years building consumer and outdoor-focused mobile products, currently contributing to Toptal after leading platform work at onX and founding Backcountry Nomad. He combines deep mobile engineering chops—Swift, SwiftUI, Combine, GraphQL—with a human-centered design background (M.S. in HCI) to ship resilient, offline-first mapping and recreation apps like Canyoneer and Where to Climb. At onX and Vida he drove infrastructural modernization and cross-platform GraphQL adoption, while at BetterUp and Coursera he built experiment-driven tracking, design systems, and scalable client architectures. He’s comfortable moving between hands-on feature delivery and multi-month re-architecture efforts that improve developer velocity and product quality. A pragmatic problem-solver, Brice pairs performance and UX focus with experience leading small teams and founding products. Outside of work he’s a Swift enthusiast (Github: "Swiftwala") based in Reno who turns outdoor passion into practical mobile tools.
