Miguel Ojito is a software engineer with six years of experience focused on open-source contributions to the Swift ecosystem, notably the high-profile swift-package-manager project. He implemented package templates and a new create subcommand to streamline onboarding and reduce ceremony for Swift packages, and enhanced package loading, dependency syntax support, and error messaging to improve robustness and developer experience. As an Apple software engineering intern he practiced “swifty” coding standards, squashed RDAR bugs, and drove weekly status meetings, demonstrating strong teamwork, multitasking, and rapid learning. Based in Tallahassee, he pairs an MS and BS in Computer Science from Florida State University with practical back-end engineering skills and attention to developer ergonomics.
