Kyle Donnelly is a Staff Software Engineer based in Oakland with over a decade of experience shipping polished mobile experiences and leading cross-functional delivery. He has driven major transitions—most notably converting Notability from one-time purchases to a tiered subscription model and porting large Objective-C codebases to Swift—while maintaining product stability and accessibility. Kyle builds internal UI frameworks and component libraries that bridge design and engineering, enabling faster prototyping and consistent cross-platform implementations. His background includes delivering high-traffic iOS apps and games, owning full-stack features, and mentoring offshore teams to scale development practices. Collected wins like company hackathon features becoming shipped products reflect a blend of hands-on coding, product intuition, and a knack for turning experiments into customer-facing value. Trained in computer science with complementary studies in philosophy and mathematics, he brings both technical rigor and thoughtful design sensibility to complex engineering challenges.
