Sam Stigler is a senior lead iOS engineer with over a decade of experience designing and shipping consumer and enterprise mobile apps, currently leading iOS development for Farmers Insurance and its brands. He combines staff-level technical ownership with hands-on implementation, from UI and time-formatting fixes in open-source projects to integrating analytics and feature work on high-profile media and retail apps. Comfortable in both agency and in-house settings, Sam has driven iOS efforts at companies including Phunware, Mutual Mobile, Tradesy, and Cognizant, often as the de facto iOS lead on cross-functional teams. Based in the Raleigh–Durham area, he pairs a BA in International Affairs with a computer science minor, bringing a pragmatic, user-focused approach and a history of improving legacy behavior (for example, enhancing time-display logic in the SelfControl app) to complex product ecosystems.

Contributions summary:Sam primarily contributed to the application's time formatting and display logic. They implemented `SCTimeIntervalFormatter`, which abstracts the time formatting for the time slider, using `TTTTimeIntervalFormatter` for modern macOS versions and providing legacy support. The user also updated the `AppController` to utilize the new formatter, fixing display bugs and compiler errors in the process, as well as making minor UI adjustments. The changes aimed to improve the user interface and functionality of the time-based blocking feature.
