During my second summer on the iOS team, I was given the responsibility of a number of major projects. Namely, I was tasked with utilizing UIStackView to re-engineer one of their core architectures, increasing efficiency and simplicity. This led to a massive collaboration with a number of engineers, designers, and product managers to utilize this architecture in the reimagining of the app's core user experience. By the end of the Summer, my architecture was being used across their app and actively being improved upon on a daily basis.
