About
Hi there,
My name is Marina, Iโm a software developer focusing on development for Apple platforms, living in Copenhagen. Iโve been in tech for almost 15 years. Working with Apple platforms since 2011, leading teams and building apps & SDKs.
Iโm a Unix geek turned Apple nerd ๐ค Topics I care about include privacy, equal opportunity, and climate change ๐
Nowadays I work as an engineering manager at Lun, helping decarbonize homes faster.
Besides occasionally consulting startups and individuals, you can find me curating ๏ฃฟ iOS Code Review newsletter and co-organizing Copenhagen Cocoa meetups.
My my past 9-to-5 adventures include leading the iOS team at Storytel for 4 years, supporting companyโs growth from a small startup to a 500-person company. Iโve also built B2B products at Citrix/GetGo, led consumer app development at PrimeApp and built apps for over a dozen of companies at Russiaโs largest agency iD East. Iโve also maintained and ran the iOS efforts of open-source Say Their Names project โ๐ฝ. My CV and references can be found on LinkedIn.
Iโve recently been interviewed on AppForce1 podcast - check it out if youโre curious about my journey.
I occasionally speak at meetups/conferences and host workshops. Below is the list of my past speaking engagements. Youtube playlist of all my talks
