Theo Ntogiakos

Dedicated iOS developer with a strong foundation in Swift and SwiftUI. My proactive approach to learning and problem solving position me as a dependable asset for an iOS dev team. A team player who thrives in collaborative settings, who is not afraid to ask for help and more than willing to provide support when needed. Looking for an environment where I can grow and hone my skills to enable me to be efficient and productive to help the business achieve its goals.
