Eric Morales is an iOS Engineer based in Austin with 11 years of experience building user-focused mobile software and a strong commitment to privacy-first design. Currently at Apple, he combines production iOS development with a background in back-end and test automation—demonstrated by contributions to the widely used emacs-php/php-mode where he improved type highlighting and test coverage. His interdisciplinary education spans applied computer science and liberal arts/history, giving him a practice of clear communication and a habit of making complex information accessible. Passionate about both privacy as a fundamental right and space technology, he seeks roles that blend secure, seamless user experiences with data-driven exploration. After a long personal history in programming dating back to 1993 and a recent return from health-related time off, he brings renewed energy and sustained curiosity to ship thoughtful, reliable software.
