   • Crypmoji

     Crypmoji is a cybersecurity and data privacy platform designed to protect sensitive communications through encrypted messaging, secure content sharing, GIF-based encryption, and integration with a custom iOS keyboard.

     As an iOS Team Lead at Crypmoji, I led the modernization of a legacy, monolithic iOS application into a more modular, scalable, maintainable, and testable architecture, applying Swift, C++ integration, SOLID principles, Protocol-Oriented Programming (POP), and separation of concerns. Introduced clearer architectural boundaries and promoted the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) and Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) through technical mentorship, code reviews, and engineering guidance.

     Architected and delivered a reversible cryptography MVP within four days, evaluating alternative implementation strategies and leading integration of a native C++ encryption library into the iOS application. Delivered working text encryption and decryption for a live stakeholder demonstration, followed by an expanded implementation supporting image encryption and improved memory handling. The demonstration contributed to investor engagement and a reported $500K seed-funding outcome.

     Diagnosed and resolved a long-standing Swift–C++ memory ownership defect, identifying unsafe pointer transfers at the interoperability boundary. Implemented targeted corrections, validation, and regression testing, avoiding a proposed system rewrite estimated at 1–2 years of engineering effort. Also resolved a device-specific encryption crash by normalizing malformed contact data before it reached the native cryptography layer.

     Balanced urgent business delivery with long-term engineering quality by introducing pragmatic modular architecture and incremental MVVM adoption, retaining temporary ViewController-level business logic where necessary while establishing a path toward cleaner separation of responsibilities.

     Led architectural discussions, documented technical direction, and mentored junior iOS engineers in POP, SOLID, clean architecture and modular design, fostering a collaborative engineering culture through knowledge sharing, code reviews, and close coordination with product and QA teams.

   • Crypmoji Legacy iOS Application

     Crypmoji Legacy iOS Application was the original Objective-C implementation of the Crypmoji encrypted messaging platform.

     As an iOS Team Lead at Crypmoji, I initially investigated and refactored the existing Objective-C codebase, evaluating its architecture, maintainability, and technical limitations.

     Identified architectural bottlenecks, tightly coupled components, and limitations affecting long-term scalability and testability. Based on this assessment, I recommended rebuilding the application using a more modular, maintainable, and testable architecture rather than continuing incremental changes to the legacy implementation.

     Led the architectural direction for the redesigned Crypmoji application, applying SOLID principles, Protocol-Oriented Programming, separation of concerns, and incremental MVVM adoption, while mentoring junior engineers and improving team collaboration.
