Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Rice is a Director and seasoned mobile engineer with 13 years’ experience crafting polished iOS and tvOS apps and SDKs, from consumer products to enterprise field applications. He’s shipped features across video platforms (NowTV, Peacock), payment and booking systems, and complex native wrappers for web apps, often enhancing CI/CD pipelines and multiplatform tooling. A pragmatic Swift/SwiftUI advocate, Simon applies testable architectures (e.g., The Composable Architecture), mocked time/location testing and ViewInspector-driven UI tests to deliver reliable native features like background location, push, and shared auth. Based in East Devon, he runs Waving Cat Apps and brings a cheerful, user-focused approach while mentoring teams and modernising legacy codebases. An Imperial College MEng graduate, he quietly pairs engineering rigor with practical product instincts to move projects from prototype to production.
