Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Banks is a Senior iOS Engineer and founder-turned-tech-lead with over 14 years of mobile-first experience building high-quality, accessible apps across finance, media and education. He combines deep Swift expertise (VIPER, MVVM, SwiftUI, Combine and structured concurrency) with a pragmatic product mindset honed by delivering 35+ apps that have earned multiple App Store features and millions of downloads. As founder of Synchromation he repeatedly shipped top-rated client work and later scaled platform thinking at Wise, helping grow the iOS team from a handful to ~30 while driving major architecture modernisations. More recently he has acted as a hands-on consultant, modernising legacy codebases—introducing DI, modular SPM packages, type-safe design systems and automation to improve developer velocity and accessibility. Nick’s background stretching back to embedded and graphics engineering gives him an unusual fluency across low-level performance trade-offs and polished UX, making him effective both as an individual contributor and engineering mentor. Based in England, he currently focuses on payments and checkout experience at Tesco while continuing to push pragmatic, test-first iOS engineering practices.
