I'm a self-taught iOS Engineer without a formal CS degree. I've been mainly working for smaller startups for about 7 years. I love being able to put on multiple hats and moving fast in a startup environment - shipping fast and breaking things. My favorite part so far at Stake has been diving straight into a core important feature on day 1 and jamming with the small, but awesome engineering team.
I've been living the digital nomad lifestyle for the past 4-5 years and have traveled to over 30 countries (and countless cities). My favorite part about traveling is exploring/discovering different cultures. Rather than doing touristy things - I prefer trying to live like the locals and blend in as much as I can. I also find myself way more productive in coffee shops, co-working spaces, or even on airplanes than in normal office settings. (Side note: one of my biggest hobbies is collecting/churning credit cards and using points to redeem for free flights and hotels.)
I'm passionate about everything iOS and love learning new frameworks within the ecosystem. I like the simple/intuitive designs of the Stake App. And I'm super excited to be able to help contribute and make the app even better.
In five years I envision Stake being one of the top players disrupting the Neobank/Fintech space. Stake's mission resonated with me because I'm most likely going to continue renting as a nomad, and would definitely not mind collecting Cash Back as a result.
I would 100% save for my next travel destination. 😄
