Francesco Frison is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with 14 years of experience building native iOS and macOS applications in Swift and Objective-C, often paired with bespoke backend synchronization. He currently shapes framework architecture, test strategy, and platform integration for Uber's Rider org while maintaining a long-running independent studio delivering end-to-end apps. His background spans UI-heavy products—custom CoreText work and FTCoreText contributions show attention to text rendering, layout and interaction—through to data stacks using Core Data, Redis and protobufs. Comfortable bridging mobile and web technologies (PHP, MySQL, Javascript) he excels at refactoring for performance and evolving legacy codebases. He prefers Swift-first projects and is selective about commute, choosing San Francisco roles with limited Valley travel.
