Summary
Ryan Baumbach is a Principal Mobile Engineer with 11+ years of iOS expertise and a strong track record of shipping and maintaining 25 apps (16 in the App Store) across startups and enterprise teams. He specializes in Swift and Objective‑C, BDD/TDD practices, and modern CI/CD pipelines—regularly pushing code coverage to 90%+ on SDKs and apps using Quick/Nimble and automated builds with fastlane, Bitrise, CircleCI and Jenkins. Ryan has led Bluetooth/BLE SDK work, migrated databases from Realm to Core Data, and integrated C++ OpenGL components into Swift apps, demonstrating a rare mix of low‑level integration and high‑level architecture. As a manager and mentor he rebuilt onboarding, ran lunch‑and‑learns, and instituted testing-first cultures that materially reduced defects and sped releases. Currently based in Fort Collins, he blends Silicon Valley pragmatism with a Colorado perspective and a background that spans node.js APIs, Rails, C#, and embedded licensing tooling.
