Greg Peet

- I work in R&D as a Software Architect. My primary focus is iOS, though I ensure solutions are considerate of platform/cloud and parity with Android.

- Responsibilities range from single-feature ownership to whole app solutions.

- My governance covers apps such as G7, Stelo, Follow, internal SDKs for share-ability, and macro visions.

- Some highlights include custom trend graph implementations for glucose results and events, home screen widgets, app security, reliability and fault-tolerance, and priming existing code for extensibility.

Reason for leaving: I absolutely love the mission, but prefer a more hands-on environment and less of an ivory tower position.

• Directly report to the CTO and oversee three mobile development teams (per team: 5-7 devs, 2 product/UX, 1-2 EMs, and 2-3 QA per team). Mobile stakeholder for company.
• Architected cloud onboarding installation where I collaborated with cross-functional teams to define API contracts, specifications, and timelines/milestones. Successfully implemented a mobile proof of concept (PoC), developer templates and guidelines for roll-out.
• Designed a high-performance, stable, and resilient architecture for our apps, incorporating remote changes for product's UX decisions. Considering our large customer base and ongoing feature development, I crafted a custom, scaffold architecture to allow seamless integration between old and new code paths, thereby minimizing disruption.
• Developed a native service to enable installation, versioning, and management of various third-party JS-based applets on routers.
• Established coding standards and best practices for mobile development teams including developer-side gatekeeping checks during builds and pre-commit.
• Implemented a roll-out initiative to resolve over 300,000 compiler/project issues in iOS codebase, 180,000 severe. Developed in-house tools and leveraged industry-proven solutions to enforce code quality. Achieved zero issues within one quarter and successfully adapted approach for Android team.
• In absence of dedicated DevOps team, I engineered complete CI/CD pipelines for both Orbi and Nighthawk apps
• After noticing numerous threading and memory-related issues in our codebase, created defensive wrappers relating to atomicity and serialization for developers to use, thereby improving code quality and stability.
• Winner of numerous ASPIRE awards for innovation and instilling impactful engineering habits to keep company more efficient.
• Began as Staff iOS Engineer, then promoted to Sr. Staff & Team Lead, and finally to Mobile Architect overseeing all of mobile development. Regardless of title, I still roll up my sleeves to dig in and wear whatever hat is required that day.
• Apps rated over 4.5+ stars for both iOS and Android.

• Integrated security tools to protect sensitive nature of our products. Designed and created in-house protection suites where no such tool/feature set existed for purchase. These tools are still used to this day.
• Solely responsible for creation and maintenance of projects containing government-protected information and assets.
• Developed custom solutions for government and law enforcement customers.
• Given a tight deadline to fix bugs in an unsatisfactory B2B product developed by outside consulting firm. Rewrote entire project within that same deadline.
• Guided design for consumer-facing SDKs.
• Actively involved with teams located in U.S. and Europe.

Reason for leaving: Desire to leave the defense contractor space.

• Joined as a contractor to fix issues present in existing, unsatisfactory products developed by an outside consulting firm. Took the same time estimation and completely rewrote the products from the ground-up for complete modularity, company control, security, and modernization of code. This later formed the foundation for many of our products.
• Hired full-time as both Principal Engineer (iOS) and Team Lead (for iOS, Android, and QA teams).
• Managed our mobile products (including SDKs, documentation, apps, and releases).
• Technical liaison with engineers from potential partners (including Apple and Samsung).
• Brought on additional expert contractors to assist with a complex integration of multiple low-level C++ libraries into Android where no support path existed. The developers gave up, so I assumed ownership. I quickly learned the new platform and created a stable integration solution.
• Retained a faultless public image for our high-visibility, customer-critical products.

Reason for leaving position: Acquired by Facebook and declined to join them.

• After joining as an IC I was quickly promoted to Mobile Architect and managed six other senior engineers.
• Repeatedly overcame limitations with the hardware and/or OS to produce a graphically-rich and fluid user experience. I created custom services for memory, animation, and rendering.
• Following a failed launch (due to cloud scaling issues), I rewrote significant portions of the app to operate at full potential without a backend. This significant undertaking was completed in a few months and involved custom network handling, event management systems, security, and hardware balancing.
• Co-author of domestic and international patents related to user manipulation of message-based objects on devices.

Reason for leaving position: I was the only retained engineer after a failed launch. I worked directly with investors and we deemed a second launch too risky after a rewrite.
