https://talent.gravityer.com/ian-knighton

Senior Platform Engineer | Everything as Code Evangelist | USSF National C Licensed Coach

Idaho Falls, Indonesia

Key Strengths

Demonstrated personal interest in Swift and macOS development through multiple projects (clockifish, noter, skipboi).
Experience with CLI tool development in Swift, indicating familiarity with system-level programming and command-line interfaces.
Exposure to infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GKE) suggests a broader understanding of software development lifecycle, though not directly related to iOS.

Cultural & Operational Fit

Cultural Fit Analysis

The candidate's projects are exclusively personal and show a strong inclination towards individual contribution and exploration of various technologies. While there are Swift projects, a significant portion of the portfolio is focused on DevOps (Terraform, GitHub Actions) and other languages (Go, HCL, Ruby, TypeScript), which may indicate a broader interest beyond the target iOS Developer role. The lack of team projects or collaborative efforts makes it difficult to assess cultural fit in a team environment.

Soft Skills & Operational Fit

Insufficient data to assess soft skills or operational fit. The candidate's personal projects demonstrate initiative and self-direction.
