Summary
Tarek Abdallah is a Staff iOS Engineer based in Berlin with nine years of hands-on experience designing and shipping consumer and B2B apps across fast-growing European startups. He specializes in Swift-first architectures, MVVM/MVC, Coordinator pattern, dependency injection, profiling and memory management, and prefers minimal external libraries to keep codebases maintainable and testable. His trajectory—from full‑scholarship computer science studies through a successful stint in insurance sales—gives him a rare product-minded perspective: he builds delightful user experiences while enforcing clean, team-friendly engineering foundations. At Qonto and Choco he scaled mobile platforms for high-growth fintech and foodtech products, bringing practical CI, analytics and Firebase integrations to production. Tarek is an avid automator who turns repetitive workflows into scripts and templates (he even scripted meeting attendance), reflecting a pragmatic focus on developer productivity. Comfortable with Objective‑C, Kotlin and several backend languages, he balances deep iOS craft with curiosity across the stack.
