iOS Engineer & Backend Developer

BankID — KYC identity-verification SDK for a national digital-identity platform

• Architected the SDK as 16+ modular, self-contained flows (authentication, OTP, liveness detection, document capture, deep linking) behind a stable public API, distributed via Swift Package Manager — adopted by five financial institutions, processing 6,000,000+ authentication sessions (~50,000 daily users).
• Implemented banking-grade security: payload encryption, code obfuscation, and on-device biometric data handling aligned with each partner bank's compliance and security reviews.
• Developed a custom VideoCoding XCFramework for liveness video capture and on-device encoding.
• Established release engineering and CI/CD — versioning, partner-brand theming, RTL localization — and delivered full feature parity with the Android SDK.
• Developed backend services in Go (Echo, GORM, PostgreSQL): REST APIs and identity-verification integrations supporting the KYC flows.
• Mentored iOS engineers, led code reviews, and coordinated integration with partner-bank teams.
