Summary
Kavana Anand is a Senior Computer Scientist specializing in iOS with 11 years of experience building and modernizing core media and imaging features at Adobe, including long-running work on Photoshop for iPad and the Photoshop Imaging Engine. She combines deep systems-level C++ experience (cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, iOS, UWP) with native Swift/UIKit expertise to re-architect view hierarchies, ship advanced editor features like Curves/Levels, and leverage Vision and pointer/pencil hover capabilities. Kavana has led platform ports, improved test coverage and CI for imaging libraries, and mentors teams as a scrum leader to reduce technical debt and raise developer velocity. Based in Seattle, she is comfortable spanning low-level engine work and polished client UX, and she often surfaces non-obvious wins—like enabling tooltip behavior via Apple Pencil hover—to improve discoverability and debugging. Her blend of cross-platform engine maintenance and forward-looking iOS UI design makes her effective at delivering reliable, high-performance creative tools.
