Vlad Gorlov is an experienced iOS/macOS developer and DevOps engineer with 13+ years in commercial software development and a total of 18 years in IT. He specializes in Swift/Objective-C, Metal GPU graphics, realtime audio/DSP and CI/CD automation, repeatedly modernizing legacy apps and introducing testable architectures and automated pipelines. As a lead engineer he has delivered GPU-accelerated charting, replaced fragile third-party dependencies with native solutions, and implemented zero-touch App Store/TestFlight publishing and CI-driven code quality checks. He contributes to notable open-source tooling around Xcode project generation, fixing build/Metal issues and adding support for new product types, demonstrating attention to build-system robustness. Based in Berlin, he combines low-level systems experience (C/C++, device drivers) with product-focused UX work and a strong penchant for refactoring complex, multithreaded codebases. Beyond mobile, he has full-stack and backend exposure (Node, Vapor, Rails, AWS) that helps him architect end-to-end solutions.
