Senior Cross-Platform Desktop Engineer (C++/Swift/C#)
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building high-performance, production-grade desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux. My expertise spans native development (C/C++, C#, .NET, Swift, Objective-C, Java) and hybrid frameworks (Qt, Electron), with deep integration into OS-level APIs (Win32/MFC/WPF/UWP, Cocoa/SwiftUI, CoreBluetooth).
I specialize in:
- System-level agents & background services (e.g., real-time activity monitoring, email/network usage tracking)
- Reliable client-server communication via WebSocket, REST, and gRPC — with offline-first design using SQLite and local caching
- Collaborative desktop apps featuring auto-save, crash recovery, and cloud sync (e.g., writer productivity tools)
- Secure, performant GUIs for dashboards, utilities, and diagnostic tools
Recent work includes developing a cross-platform monitoring agent at iMonitorSoft (C/C++/Swift/Objective-C), and a macOS book-creation app with real-time collaboration at SoftVision. I prioritize reliability, maintainability, and seamless user experience especially in enterprise, productivity, and system-integration domains.
Open to contract, freelance, or full-time opportunities for complex desktop software projects.
