Top SchoolElliot Schrock is a Senior Staff Engineer based in Boston with 12 years of experience scaling mobile products and leading engineering teams for startups and growth-stage companies. He blends entrepreneurial instincts with deep iOS and Android expertise (Swift, Kotlin, Objective-C, SwiftUI) and a background in backend stacks like Ruby on Rails and Node.js to ship foundational product codebases quickly. Elliot has repeatedly shortened launch timelines—most notably accelerating a mobile product by 12 months to secure critical funding—and built pioneering AR measurement tooling that influenced later platform features. As a hands-on technical leader he moves fluidly between C-suite strategy and day-to-day implementation, building operational models that reduce cross-team thrash and unblock major client deals. An active contributor to Habitica’s native iOS and Android apps, he focuses on UX-driven feature work and UI refactors that improve task management flows. A recovering mathematician and Raspberry Pi tinkerer, he brings analytical rigor and curious experimentation to product and platform decisions.
