Summary
Christopher Combes is a seasoned Staff Software Engineer with 24 years of cross-platform experience and a deep focus on iOS engineering, having spent 14 years building Swift, SwiftUI, Combine and Objective-C applications. He combines hands-on implementation skills—from architecture and testing to deployment and analytics—with low-level proficiency in C/C++ and Python, reflecting a background that spans Unix/Linux, Win32, and embedded/defense systems. His recent senior and staff roles at Procore, plus senior iOS positions at HEB and Golden Frog, show a track record of delivering production-grade mobile solutions in both enterprise and consumer contexts. A former founder and ex-Air Force developmental engineer, he brings product-minded engineering, mentorship, and an unusual blend of aerospace/applied physics training to software problems. Currently recharging between roles in Nashville, he is preparing to bring his pragmatic, systems-oriented perspective and appetite for new technical challenges to his next team.
