Copenhagen, Capital Region of Denmark
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimon Strandgaard is an experienced iOS developer with over 15 years building native apps and more than 25 years in software, combining deep Swift and Objective-C expertise with low-level C/C++ and assembler roots. He has led architecture, code reviews, and debugging efforts on large, multithreaded projects—solving sporadic crashes and memory leaks—and is comfortable across Apple frameworks, tools and modern UI mixes like SwiftUI/UIKit. As a longtime contractor and founder, he’s delivered apps for banking, healthcare, public transport and OCR (contributing notable fixes and Swift migrations to the Tesseract iOS project). Equally at home in team-based Git workflows, he also brings broad polyglot experience (Rust, Python, Java/Kotlin, Docker, Node.js) that helps bridge platform boundaries. Based in Copenhagen, he offers pragmatic design-pattern-driven engineering, strong testing discipline, and an uncommon blend of high- and low-level insight from decades of systems and app development.
