Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolReuben Scratton is a seasoned senior software engineer with over three decades of hands-on experience and 14 years focused on mobile platforms, delivering shipping iOS and Android apps since 2009. He brings deep low-level expertise—C/C++, ARM and x86 assembly, kernel-mode drivers and platform porting—gained from work on Symbian, Win32 and embedded systems, and later applied to high-impact consumer apps. As founder and CTO-level consultant he built award-winning Android products (notably a Google-featured Cycle Hire Widget) and led a major rewrite of the BBC News iOS app, reducing its codebase dramatically while preserving functionality. Currently at GameBench, he blends systems-level thinking with pragmatic app development to improve performance and reliability. Colleagues benefit from his rare combination of retro assembly roots and modern mobile architecture fluency, making him effective on both device internals and polished user-facing software.
