Top SchoolMike Retondo is a seasoned Senior Software Engineer and iOS Swift specialist based in Chicago with over a decade of experience building polished GUIs, cross-platform desktop applications, and production mobile apps. He combines hands-on coding (from assembler and C++ to Swift and TypeScript) with team leadership on large greenfield projects across industries like trading, healthcare, and gaming. Notable work includes shipping App Store apps (Match Emojis and an Xcode extension), modernizing complex Java Swing products, and fixing subtle multithreading and race-condition bugs in high-stakes trading systems. Mike is pragmatic about business-technology tradeoffs, mentors engineers new to legacy codebases, and has a track record of delivering very low-defect releases on time. An unusual strength is his history of building custom UI controls and accessibility improvements (e.g., JAWS optimizations), showing deep attention to user experience and robustness.
