Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolStephen Anthony is a Lead iOS Developer with over a decade of commercial experience designing and delivering native iPhone and iPad apps for major brands including the BBC, B&Q, Ordnance Survey and the BMJ. He combines hands-on engineering with architecture and CI/CD leadership, repeatedly shipping greenfield Swift/SwiftUI projects, high unit-test coverage (>90%), and automated GitHub Actions pipelines. Stephen built and maintains Budgeted, a personal finance app on the App Store since 2012, and has created tools for localisation and GraphQL code generation that reveal a knack for developer tooling beyond app UIs. He’s experienced at modernising legacy codebases—introducing dependency injection, experiment platforms, and feature-flag driven trunk workflows—to enable scalable product growth. Notably, he worked directly with Apple engineers early in watchOS to diagnose iPhone–Apple Watch communication issues, reflecting deep platform-level debugging skills. Based in Waverley, England, he pairs pragmatic engineering with clear technical documentation and a long-running development blog.
