Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrett Ohland is a Staff iOS Engineer with 13 years of experience building Apple platform software since the days of iOS 5 beta, now based in Calgary. He blends hands-on Swift and SwiftUI expertise with platform leadership—crafting coding standards, CI/CD tooling, and SDKs while guiding architecture and app quality at companies from startups to enterprise. As an Apple Platform Architect and former iOS Platform Lead, he’s led teams, mentored developers, and modernized large Objective-C codebases into Swift, plus supported sales and post-release root-cause analysis. He also runs a mobile-focused small business, helping clients ship refined iOS experiences, and brings practical breadth from front-end web work to watchOS and CoreBluetooth integrations. A detail that sets him apart: he pairs rigorous engineering processes (XCFrameworks, Bitrise pipelines, testing) with a long track record of prototyping and translating OS features into product roadmaps.
