Alexey Karataev
iOS Developer and UI/UX Designer
Intro
Let's get acquainted?
Hello, I am iOS Developer and UI/UX designer from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I have 5 years of experience in mobile development. I have been involved in developing a wide range of mobile apps. Specialize on developing iOS/watchOS applications in Swift. I enjoy all the challenges this industry offers. Technology, customer satisfaction, innovation and on-going learning. It is incredibly exciting.
I like to code. I find it enjoyable. I love building solutions that can be extended with only a few keystrokes. I like looking back at old code, and refactoring away the nasty bits in order to transform into something great. Besides working, I participate in open source projects and lead my own.

iOS Development
This is my main direction for development. But often, the remaining areas are reflected in this. My primary language is Swift, but if necessary I can work with Objective-C.
02
Machine Learning
I really love ML, this technology is our future. Just take a look at my open source project. Mobile application using ML for the early diagnosis of melanoma. How do you like it, Elon Musk?

UI/UX Design
How many do you know the developers who received the invitation to Dribbble? Do not need many words, it needs to feel. Just look at my profile and enjoy the wonderful.

Customer Development
These are echoes of my startup experience. Need to calculate a unit economy? Do customer development? Will not be a big problem for me. I understand what a business needs.
05
Authorship
Sometimes the best way to share a knowledge is to write an article. I am a co-author of the blog where you can find articles about Swift and Objective-C, libraries and frameworks.
06
Open Source
This is another big love of mine. I am so happy to be part of this amazing community. Besides my work I am contributing to open source projects such as GitHawk and lead my own.
