Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Eid is a Staff Software Engineer with over a decade of deep iOS expertise, currently driving mobile platform work at Zello after leading R&D for a location-based social startup. He’s repeatedly improved app performance and developer productivity—examples include reducing TTI by 60% at Reddit and cutting load times 50% via Combine rewrites at Tilt—while architecting Server-Driven UI and modular DLS solutions that accelerated feature delivery. Michael blends systems thinking with product focus, having built SDKs, payment/booking flows, and privacy-conscious apps for legal and cybersecurity clients. He mentors teams through large migrations (Objective-C to Swift), CI modernization, and modularization efforts that turn monoliths into maintainable feature modules. Unusually for a mobile engineer, his background includes graduate research in networking and early work at Spotify, giving him a networked-systems perspective on mobile performance. Based in Old Toronto, he pairs hands-on Swift/SwiftUI craftsmanship with architectural leadership across startups and scale-ups.
