About Michael Haviv

I build iOS apps that millions of people use every day.Over 7 years at Fox Corporation — including 4+ as an iOS Engineer — I\'ve contributed 540+ merged PRs across Fox Weather and Fox News, shipping 20+ major features from near-launch through a full app redesign, premium subscription rollout, and cross-platform expansion to tvOS and watchOS. Promoted from Junior to Mid-Level iOS Engineer in under 3 years.I work across the full iOS stack: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Combine, and async/await concurrency within a modular MVVM-C architecture. I own CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and manage 8+ SDK integrations (Firebase, Braze, Adobe AEP, ComScore) end-to-end.Key results:→ Shipped a full app redesign under a 2-week development sprint→ Resolved 400+ Jira tickets including 140+ P0/P1 critical issues across a 200K+ line codebase→ Pioneered 14 R&D investigations leading to shipped features like animated weather backgrounds, live stream support, and push notification deep linking→ Built CI/CD for three apps with a Slack notification system that auto-tags developers on failures→ Mentored junior engineers and presented 14+ feature and growth proposals to Fox Corporation executives, covering market analysis, KPIs, and cross-platform strategyI\'m a strong believer in AI-augmented development. I use Cursor and GitHub Copilot daily, authored team-wide AI coding guidelines, and integrated AI-driven release notes into our CI pipeline. I also created pr-narrator-mcp, an open-source MCP server for generating consistent commit messages and PR descriptions.Always happy to connect, whether you\'re building at scale, growing an iOS team, or exploring how AI tools can accelerate mobile development.
