Megat
I’m Megat, a senior iOS engineer in Selangor with 8 years of shipping. Open to full-time senior iOS roles, remote or hybrid.
Any kind of development is the part of the job I’d do for free. iOS is where I’m deepest, but the moment a problem lives in the backend, the pipeline, or some weird hybrid corner, that’s where I want to be.
Right now that’s one full-time team and my own products after hours. I don’t take freelance or client work anymore: the depth I want only comes from staying with one product long enough to own it properly.
