Brad Cook – iOS Developer

About Me

I started learning Swift in 2021 when I decided it was time for a career change. I’m so glad I did. There’s nothing like the feeling of finally making a feature work properly or nailing the logic of an algorithm.

I received a certificate in iOS Programming from the University of California, San Diego in 2022.

I built an app, which is available on the App Store. It’s my take on the classic card game, Set, built from scratch with my own custom algorithms, interface, hints system, and online multiplayer functionality. I bit off more than I could chew with it, and it was the best thing for my development. For some reason, it seems to be a hit in South Korea, with over 500 downloads there in the past half year.

For the past four months, I’ve been an iOS Developer Intern at Orlando O. Spencer, Inc. The company makes software for the aviation industry that serves both pilots, instructors, and aviation institutions. I worked on their S61C app, which allows students to request training with instructors, allows instructors to advertise themselves to students, provides FAA documentation, and serves as a sort of social media app for aviation enthusiasts as well. There are a ton of features, and I got to work on a number of them. You can see the work from my time there here.

With the internship coming to a close, I’m looking for a full-time position. Check out my résumé here, and get in touch if you’re interested!
