Hi, I'm Sathriyan (aka Sam)

At App Innovation Technologies, I've led the design, development, and maintenance of multiple iOS applications across diverse industries, consistently delivering robust and user-friendly solutions. My role involves owning the full development lifecycle—collaborating with cross-functional teams, integrating modern tools, and driving quality releases. Key projects include:

• Social Networking Application: Spearheaded UI development for a feature-rich platform, delivering smooth, intuitive user experiences across multiple screens.
• Buy Now Pay Later Application: Led the design and seamless integration of the wallet module, significantly enhancing both user functionality and transactional efficiency.
• CRM Application: Played a central role in maintaining and evolving the application, quickly resolving bugs and rolling out stable updates to improve performance.
• KYC Application: Played a key role in automating, optimizing, and modernizing the SDK and app infrastructure. Major contributions include:
  • Introduced XCFramework for SDK distribution, eliminating the need for manual fat binary preparation and streamlining integration.
  • Integrated Bitrise CI into the project, automating the entire build and distribution pipeline and replacing the previously manual process.
  • Optimized build settings and enabled build cache in Bitrise, reducing build times from 25 minutes to just 4 minutes.
  • Implemented CocoaPods distribution to deliver the SDK to vendor teams, enhancing integration experience and reducing onboarding friction.
  • Integrated Datadog into the codebase for real-time logging and observability. Built intuitive dashboards, monitors, and alert systems to track app performance and health.
  • Worked closely with the product team and leveraged Datadog logs to analyze user pain points and improve the application experience— resulting in increase in user conversion rate.
  • Worked closely with the QA team to implement CI test automation, which accelerated release cycles from once every few months to once per sprint.
  • Rebuilt the loader module by replacing GIFs with MP4 video assets, significantly optimizing memory usage—dropping consumption from 800 MB to 65 MB.
  • Automated dependency management tasks, including scanning for vulnerabilities, checking for updates, and creating PRs for dependency upgrades.
  • Adopted the "Buildable folder" approach to avoid conflicts in the .xcodeproj file, vastly improving the developer experience and easing collaboration.
  • Converted legacy UIKit components to SwiftUI to support fellow teammates in integrating TCA (The Composable Architecture) into the codebase.
  • Refactored the networking layer to adopt Swift Concurrency, aligning with the broader engineering objective of supporting Swift 6 compatibility.
