Summary
Charles Vu is an iOS developer with 11 years of experience building and leading mobile teams across fintech, identity, and gaming products in the UK. He’s currently contributing to Engine by Starling after driving large improvements at Yoti—removing 30k lines of dead code, cutting CI compilation and test times, and introducing automation and pair programming to boost productivity. As a former tech lead he has led migrations to modern architectures (Swift, VIPER, GraphQL/Apollo), hired and mentored multiple iOS engineers, and delivered security-minded features including cryptography and binary analysis. He combines hands-on feature development with operational craft—CI/CD, build performance, and release engineering—so apps ship faster and safer. Colleagues know him for pragmatic technical leadership that balances developer velocity with maintainability. He prefers fully remote roles and enjoys solving the little engineering problems (yes, another collection view) that make products feel polished.
