Summary
👤
SeniorIgor Kashkuta is a Mobile Architect with 13 years of experience designing and shipping large-scale iOS and cross-platform products, currently based in London and leading mobile architecture at Badoo and Bumble. He blends deep Objective-C/Objective-C++ and C++11 expertise with practical experience in ReactiveCocoa, CI automation, and porting complex native codebases to new platforms. Igor's background includes taking 2GIS from initial iPhone release to millions of users, porting QtCore to iOS, and modernizing massive C++ projects, showing a rare mix of low-level systems work and product-focused UX engineering. He also contributes to open-source quality by improving test suites (e.g., libextobjc) and has a hacker streak—porting a Sega Genesis emulator to JS and winning a hackathon with a QR-based OAuth authentication prototype. Colleagues rely on him for architectural leadership, cross-language integration, and pragmatic toolchain improvements that tame large, multi-platform codebases.
