Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Cobb is a Senior iOS Engineer with 15 years of experience building reliable native apps and tooling, currently shaping mobile experiences at Cricut from Salt Lake City. He combines a pragmatically rigorous approach—favoring good design, thorough test suites, and even formal proofs—with hands-on expertise in Swift, Objective-C, C/C++, and functional techniques applied to Swift libraries. His work spans shipping production iOS and macOS apps, modernizing legacy architectures, and cutting CI/build times while leading test automation for platforms used by millions of students. A longtime contributor to functional programming in Swift (notably on typelift/Swiftz), he brings research-grade knowledge of type theory and static analysis from his MS and research at Northeastern. Off the clock he’s a self-described “bug sleuth” and one of the top 0.3% of StackOverflow users, a hint of both curiosity and deep debugging craft.

Contributions summary:Andrew focused on implementing functional programming concepts within the Swiftz repository, primarily by creating and enhancing a List data structure. Their contributions included the initial implementation of a List, making it conform to ArrayLiteralConvertible, and adding Functor and Sequence instances, along with methods like `head` and `tail`. They also added a test for the List Functor and refactored the code by moving the Box class to its own file.
