Experience

1. Senior Ios Engineer - Ai Platform

   WHOOP

   Oct 2025 — Present · Boston, MA, US

   Re-built AI Chat from scratch to allow dynamic, visual UIs as opposed to a mainly raw text experience. I also focused on improving scroll performance on long conversations & long messages as text streams in, a problem in the old chat. Shipped March \'26, this new chat builds leverage for the business across the entire WHOOP app, which integrates our AI Chat as a drawer on every screen.I built Ycode, a developer tool that allows for parallelizing iOS work— spins up a git worktree per work item, gives a dedicated derived data, and builds/tests/runs directly to your device. I haven\'t opened up Xcode in almost a month. Next steps have been adding a Claude orchestrator layer that interacts with me via a dynamic web UI— an interface I have already onboarded multiple iOS engineers, an Android engineer, and a Product Manager onto. Ycode.\'cause why code?
