Summary
Seth Howard is a Senior iOS Engineer with 13+ years of experience shipping mobile products across healthcare, gaming, GIS, and sports, often as the sole or inaugural iOS engineer on high-impact teams. He’s led major migrations and modernizations—Obj-C to Swift, UIKit to SwiftUI, Alamofire to URLSession, CocoaPods to SPM—while delivering robust architectures for HIPAA-compliant apps, real-time mapping SDKs, and youth sports platforms used daily by coaches and athletes. Notable work includes deploying a 2.5D indoor mapping SDK at Super Bowl LIV, rebuilding a large app from 180k lines of UIKit to 90k SwiftUI with strict concurrency, and building SLAM and ROS2-based robotics R&D at Verizon. He gravitates toward “hard resets”: legacy codebases, performance bottlenecks, and systems with no blueprint, and pairs deep hands-on profiling with pragmatic architectural decisions. Based in Denver, he’s currently focused on agentic programming and tooling that meaningfully boosts developer productivity.
