iOS Hiring Manager
Brightpath Mobile
Austin, TX

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the iOS Developer role at Brightpath. At Harbor Apps I shipped three App Store releases of our consumer habit tracker (SwiftUI + Combine), owning onboarding, offline sync, and VoiceOver labeling for core flows.

Last quarter I cut cold-start time by 28% by deferring non-critical analytics and trimming the launch storyboard path, while keeping crash-free sessions above 99.7%. I work closely with design on interaction specs and with product on experiment flags so releases stay boring—in a good way.

I would love to bring the same release discipline to Brightpath’s mobile surface. Resume and App Store links are attached.

Sincerely,
Sam Okonkwo

FAQ

Should I attach TestFlight builds?

A public App Store link or carefully scoped TestFlight invite helps more than screenshots alone. Never share private keys or production credentials.

How technical should the letter be?

One concrete technical win is enough. Save architecture deep-dives for the interview or a portfolio write-up.

What if I only have side projects?

Treat them as shipped products: downloads, crash rates, App Store reviews, or TestFlight feedback counts as evidence.
