At gomoney - a digital bank designed to simplify everyday finance, I helped redesign, refactor, and relaunch the iOS app used by over 120K users. I worked on major product rebuilds, transitioning from UIKit-heavy MVP architecture to a modern modular design with Swift Package Manager and improved testing coverage. This reduced app crashes from 33% to under 1%, significantly improving stability and user experience. I also built core features like multi-wallet support, transaction categorisation, and financial insights that empowered users to track and improve their spending habits
