Senior iOS Engineer, Warsaw, Poland

Zakhar Sazanavets

I build iOS apps that make it to release and hold up in production.

Nine years of Swift and Objective-C across fintech, banking, video editing, social and media. I shipped a video editor to the App Store, designed the app architecture for one of the largest banks in Belarus, serving 500,000+ active users, and built 150+ apps from scratch.
