Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFederico Cappelli is an iOS and macOS senior engineer with 13+ years of hands-on experience building greenfield apps, resurrecting legacy products, and designing cross-platform architectures for multinational teams. He blends deep platform expertise (Objective-C/Swift, CoreData, security and cryptography, WebKit) with a track record of leading tech initiatives: driving CI/CD and cloud migrations, creating reusable frameworks, and establishing cross-team standards. At companies from startups to DuckDuckGo and Mimecast he has coordinated international rebrands and mentored engineering teams while staying very much a coding-focused contributor. Notably, he couples low-level skills—C/C++ library integration, packet inspection and jailbreak countermeasures—with product-minded UX and testing rigor, making him effective on both security-sensitive and consumer-facing projects. Based in London, he also fosters open-source contributions and practical tooling to improve developer workflows across mobile and web.
