Senior🎓
Top SchoolSlipp Thompson is a Lead iOS and Apple Platforms Developer based in Denver with 17 years of professional experience building native apps, games, and interactive systems. He blends deep Objective-C/Swift expertise and Metal/SceneKit proficiency with a holistic eye for UX, documentation, and reliable system design. His career spans founding indie startups and leading platform work at Vaisala Xweather, plus hands-on game and AR projects using Unity, OpenCV, and custom engines. Early web and server-side experience (PHP, Ruby/Rails) and long-term practice in front-end design give him cross-disciplinary fluency between visuals, audio, and code. He’s driven by mindful product craftsmanship—creating systems that remove unnecessary hurdles—and maintains a history of open-ended, experimental projects like a custom Swift game engine. Colleagues describe him as a thoughtful engineer who frames technical decisions around human experience as much as architecture.
