Summary
Derek Holevinsky is an iOS software engineer with a decade of experience building maintainable, readable mobile applications for large-scale consumer products. Currently at DoorDash after a tenure at Amazon working on the Amazon Glow app and device, he brings deep familiarity with shipping production iOS features across both app and hardware-integrated experiences. His background in mechanical engineering and earlier design-engineering roles gives him a practical, systems-minded approach to problem solving and prototyping, including scripting and tooling to automate workflows. Derek has moved between fast-paced retail and platform teams (Best Buy, Amazon, DoorDash), consistently improving performance and UX while collaborating closely with cross-functional partners. He pairs strong Objective-C/Swift fundamentals with a proven habit of writing developer-facing automation (VB/Python/CATIA macros) that reduce friction in engineering and production. Based in New York, he blends product-focused craftsmanship with a knack for turning engineering gaps into durable, testable solutions.
