# Andy W. > Software Engineer | Builder Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/andyw1 I'm an iOS Engineer passionate about building intuitive, reliable, and scalable mobile experiences. Over the past 5+ years, I’ve led engineering efforts at startups and growth-stage companies, shipping production features, redesigns, and performance improvements across various industries — from identity security to urban mobility to wellness. I’ve worn many hats — from being the sole engineer launching MVPs to mentoring new devs on growing teams. I’m driven by product quality, clean architecture, and the chance to build tools people genuinely enjoy using. Currently at Clear, I lead SwiftUI migration, performance ops, and app redesign initiatives. Outside of work, I’m passionate about self-improvement, entrepreneurship, and exploring new ideas through indie product experiments. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer, iOS @ CLEAR Jan 2026 – Present ### Software Engineer, iOS @ CLEAR Jan 2021 – Jan 2026 | New York, NY iOS Engineer on the CLEAR Mobile app, driving initiatives across app modernization, reliability, and developer experience. - iOS lead on ClearID(https://ir.clearme.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/173/clear-launches-clear-id-a-new-free-way-to-present-your-id) - Delivered the ePassport NFC feature, streamlining ID verification and reducing wait times in physical CLEAR lanes. - Led Swift to SwiftUI migration efforts, improving development velocity and enabling scalable architecture adoption. - Introduced BrowserStack QA automation, cutting manual testing time by 85% and increasing test coverage by 60%. - Optimized CI/CD pipelines and managed release processes to ensure high-quality, predictable deployments. - Revamped on-call operations, reducing MTTD from 60 mins to 1 min and MTTR by 95%. - Recognized as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) across multiple domains and regularly contribute to team ceremonies, onboarding, and process refinement. ### iOS Engineer @ Helbiz Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | New York, New York, United States iOS engineer on Helbiz GO and Helbiz Kitchen apps, building new features and internal tools for 15K+ daily trips across the US and Italy. - Built and launched Helbiz Kitchen, a food delivery experience, in just 3 months — integrating with POS systems and the driver app. - Led development of the Helbiz Driver App, used by employees to maintain EV fleets and communicate with city partners. - Created analytics sync scripts to align mobile event tracking between iOS and Android, improving data quality and team efficiency. - Collaborated cross-functionally with both the New York HQ and the remote Serbia team to ship fast and iterate across time zones. ### iOS Engineer @ Membit Inc.
