iOS Developer (Part-time)

Binex Solutions · Pakistan

Where it started professionally — shipping business apps with monetization, REST integrations and rock-solid iOS fundamentals.

At Binex Solutions I contributed part-time to several business apps, integrating ad networks and REST APIs and maintaining shared codebases. This is where I built the iOS fundamentals — UIKit, Auto Layout, memory management and clean, HIG-compliant UI — that everything since has been built on.

What I did

  • Build and maintain features across multiple business apps.
  • Integrate third-party SDKs (ad networks, REST APIs).
  • Follow Apple Human Interface Guidelines and Agile practices, using Git for version control.

Technical highlights

Objective-C → Swift transition

Worked across Objective-C and early Swift (2.x / 3), building UIKit interfaces with Storyboards / XIBs and Auto Layout during the industry's shift to Swift, with ARC memory management.

Monetization & integrations

Integrated AdMob and Chartboost for monetization and REST APIs via AFNetworking, with Core Data for local persistence.

Fundamentals & workflow

Managed dependencies with CocoaPods, collaborated with Git (feature branches + reviews), followed Apple HIG and Agile/Scrum, and added early crash reporting (Fabric/Crashlytics) and analytics (Flurry / Google Analytics).
