Top SchoolKirk B is a seasoned mobile and embedded software engineer with over two decades of experience and eight years focused on modern iOS/Android app development, delivering products from enterprise SDKs to consumer apps. He founded xolaware and shipped multi‑language, App Store–published apps that show both product thinking and hands‑on expertise in Objective‑C and Java, and has led mobile engineering at companies including Twitter, Mitek, and Mina Labs.

Based in San Diego and currently semi‑retired, he remains open to compelling opportunities that blend software craft with mentoring and product impact.
