Summary
Timothy Kettering is an experienced iOS engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with 12 years in software development and over five years focused on shipping native iOS apps for companies like Lyft, Twitter, and Apple. He combines deep mobile craftsmanship—authoring automated UI test suites and server-driven UI migrations—with a decade of Java back-end and web front-end experience, enabling him to bridge client and server concerns effectively. At Twitter he specialized in accessibility, evangelizing standards and building solutions to make the app usable for everyone, a thread that follows from his background and work at large-scale consumer platforms. Known for driving cross-team initiatives and codifying best practices, he reliably turns complex product needs into robust, maintainable engineering outcomes. Notably, his education in psychology gives him a unique lens on user experience and accessibility decisions beyond purely technical considerations.
