Summary
George Lim is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building high-quality iOS, macOS, React Native, and web products, currently at Duolingo. He specializes in Swift and Objective-C for cross-platform Apple development, React Native for rich mobile experiences, and polished UI/UX for web interfaces, and has repeatedly led end-to-end feature design from SDKs to widgets. George co-created consumer apps like UpNext and Bunch and shipped several indie projects (Spikeful, Traffic Pal, Dialer) while contributing major open-source pieces such as a Zoom conferencing framework and a SpriteKit drawing toolkit. At Bunch he drove complex real-time features—P2P sync, presence systems, KMM view models, and an iOS Game SDK with 70% test coverage—plus performance and CI improvements at TunnelBear/McAfee. Based in Pittsburgh and trained at the University of Waterloo, he pairs product-minded engineering with a knack for pragmatic platform-level solutions and developer tooling that surface in both proprietary and open-source work.
