I'm the outgoing CTO of a fintech/tax startup, focused on a tax estimation iOS app for freelancers, now winding down (https://www.upwardearner.com).

Did 100% of backend/infra and most of the design/animation.

In 2021, I launched a successful NFT collection (~$3.5m sales) with a fashion artist, writing generative art algorithms and Solidity smart contracts (https://opensea.io/collection/1989-sisters).

Former Staff Engineer at Dots, a mobile puzzle game company. Led big projects and managed a team of 8.

Hello! I'm Lewis Godowski, a creatively-driven lead engineer with over a decade of experience across the Apple ecosystem. Passionate about the little details of good design and a strong advocate for the human-centered design process.

Most recently, I was brought onto a new strategic business unit build to turnaround, manage, and lead an underperforming team of ~10 iOS engineers at a top 3 global motorcycle manufacturer. I had two main responsibilities I needed to balance: doing some heavy lifting as an individual contributor, and more importantly people management (upwards with product stakeholders, laterally with other pods and work streams, and downwards with my team). I identified and reduced inefficiencies in our scrum sprint cycle rituals, and established a standard architecture, code style guide, and best practices document for the client's codebase, resulting in a 28% increase in velocity and allowing us to deliver on schedule for an in-person launch event with 150+ dealerships.

Unfortunately, my current role has been transforming more and more into a business/digital consultant, which means a lot of my time is spent working on slide decks and high-level architectures that never see the light of day. It's bumming me out and taking me away from what I really enjoy: writing code, learning new skills, and wearing multiple hats to solve problems.

Ideally, I'm looking for an iOS (or Vapor, a server-side Swift framework) role as either manager or IC that lets me really flex my Swift and iOS expertise.

  Location: Los Angeles, USA

  Remote: OK

  Willing to relocate: relocate within the u.s.

  Technologies: Product design, UX/UI Design, Accessibility
