Hi, my name is Gavin Shrader.
I have been a professional software engineer for the last 5+ years; prior to this I was a hobbyist (self-taught) developer.
I got my start building iOS apps and games for Apple devices using the Swift programming language; this remains my primary interest and skillset. I also work on full-stack and front-end web systems, have experience with Python and scripting/automation, and build production-level LLM integrations.
I am currently employed at a medical education company. I handle the architecture and development of an iOS application that serves a large user base of students. I've deployed code at scale, translated into 5+ languages, that works on both low-powered and modern hardware.
In my free time I am developing Swelter, an iOS app that calculates heat risk and helps you find the best times for a run or other outdoor activity.
When I'm not behind my computer I like getting outdoors, exploring nature, hiking, and running.
Thanks for stopping by my portfolio, cheers!
