Sakir Saiyed

Senior iOS Engineer · Swift / SwiftUI · Mobile Architecture

10+ years shipping production iOS apps to the App Store across FinTech, IoT, healthcare, and e-commerce — owning mobile architecture, leading code quality and reviews, and driving releases from whiteboard to production.

Recently completed an AI & Data Science program at SAIT (Calgary), where I build on-device and full-stack AI/ML systems. I bring that to iOS through CoreML and ML-assisted features — a differentiator on top of a deep native foundation, not a pivot away from it.

📌 Featured Projects

📈 iStocks — Real-Time Stock Watchlist iOS

SwiftUI-first stock tracker with multiple watchlists, P&L tracking, and an offline mock mode. Live price updates over WebSocket/REST, persisted with SwiftData, on a testable MVVM + Clean Architecture design with a CI/CD pipeline. Swift · SwiftUI · Combine · Clean Architecture · MVVM · SwiftData

🧱 iOS-Architectures — Architecture Showcase iOS

MVC, MVVM, MVP, VIPER, and Clean Architecture implemented side by side over the same domain logic — a working reference on the trade-offs in testability, coupling, and scalability across patterns. Swift · UIKit · SwiftUI · Design Patterns

🛍 SwiftUI-Storefront — E-Commerce iOS App iOS

Modular shopping app — product listing, search, favorites, and cart — built on MVVM with a Coordinator pattern and an SPM-based API layer. Swift · SwiftUI · MVVM · REST API
