Summary
Derek Tseng is a Senior Software Engineer based in Taiwan with 10 years in software and over 8 years specializing in iOS development, currently focusing on Swift while retaining deep Objective-C experience. He has shipped consumer and crypto products at scale, including roles at Binance and Crypto.com, and has repeatedly modernized legacy codebases by refactoring Objective-C to Swift using MVVM and RxSwift. Derek combines strong engineering craft with practical product sense—designing networks, storage, real-time sync, rich notifications, and UI testing hooks to improve UX and observability. He thrives in Agile teams, leads code reviews, and has a track record of replacing brittle third-party libs and tracing performance bottlenecks to deliver robust mobile experiences. An understated strength is his cross-domain fluency—from embedded NAS and firmware work early in his career to high-frequency trading and chat features in fintech and social apps—making him effective at bridging platform and product constraints.
