Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFábio Almeida is a Lead iOS Engineer based in Porto with nearly a decade of focused mobile engineering experience and over 10 years in iOS development overall, specializing in building and scaling high-availability consumer apps. He has driven technical strategy and execution at Farfetch—shaping a 600k+ line codebase used by 1M daily active users—and now leads iOS efforts at Zego. Comfortable toggling between hands-on development and leadership, he has guided migrations (Objective-C to Swift, REST to GraphQL), launched internal tooling and a native UI framework, and introduced on-call, monitoring and CI/CD practices that keep apps stable at scale. He mentors senior engineers, influences product and platform direction, and led company-wide initiatives like GitHub Copilot adoption and SwiftUI rollouts. Unusually for someone at his level, he remains deeply involved in code and UX details while owning multi-year technical roadmaps. His background in recommender systems and emergency ad-hoc networking reveals a breadth that informs resilient, user-centered mobile architecture.
