Summary
Rhuari Glen is an experienced iOS engineer with eight years building consumer and enterprise Apple apps, currently shipping features at Spotify from London. His background spans media and broadcast (BBC, Digital Barriers) to consumer services and tooling, giving him breadth across streaming, audio/video capture, and platform integrations. He’s driven migrations from Objective‑C to Swift, introduced CI pipelines, and built private Cocoapods and in‑house frameworks to improve developer velocity. Comfortable with low‑level integrations, he has wrapped C++ backends for iOS/tvOS and implemented TouchID/ForceTouch, Bluetooth, encryption and reliable crash reporting to boost product quality. A pragmatic developer and former tech editor, he balances clean engineering with practical UX considerations and a knack for operationalising testing and deployment. Unusually for an engineer at his level, he has hands‑on experience authoring editorial technical content as well as building TV and streaming “lite” clients.
