Charlottesville, Virginia, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Gatewood is a Senior Software Engineer and mobile product obsessive with 10 years of experience building polished iOS, macOS, web, and tooling experiences from Charlottesville, VA. He combines startup founder scrappiness—shipping consumer apps, festival PWAs, and App Store utilities through Robot Hand—with enterprise-grade delivery from roles at Square and WillowTree. At Square he led OCR-assisted features and platform migrations that materially cut seller workflows and developer iteration times, and he has a track record of driving zero-downtime modernizations. Patrick favors detail-driven UX and fast iteration, often solo-engineering full products and practical developer tooling that accelerate teams. Known to be “probably clacking on his keyboard at 2 AM,” he pairs late-night focus with a disciplined approach to architecture and developer experience. He holds a Computer Science degree from Virginia Tech and brings both hands-on execution and product sensibility to mobile-first challenges.
