Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLars Anderson is a Staff Software Engineer in Seattle with 15 years of professional experience focused on iOS performance, hard-to-reproduce bug triage, and polished, context-aware UI design. Classically trained in electrical engineering, he pivoted to mobile after the iPhone launch and has shipped production iOS software since 2011, rising through roles at Mutual Mobile, TeamSnap, and now Apple. He combines low-level performance craftsmanship with pragmatic product sensibilities—helping apps scale to millions of users while keeping them responsive on the slowest supported devices. An active open-source maintainer (notably on MMProgressHUD) and founder of small experimental apps, he pairs hands-on engineering with mentoring and process automation to raise team craftsmanship. Outside of code he sharpens his design instincts through app mockups and hones practical creativity in a woodworking shop.
