Illya Bakurov
Senior iOS Developer and Tech Lead · Dec 2017 to Apr 2020
I led Objective-C and Swift development for wealth-management applications where availability, privacy, security, compliance, and clear communication were product requirements, not afterthoughts.
The applications gave wealth-management clients secure access to information and communication that had to remain understandable and dependable across everyday use and high-stakes financial moments.
Native Objective-C and Swift clients sat inside bank-grade identity, security, privacy, compliance, availability, and release processes. Product quality depended as much on those constraints as on the interface itself.
Selected work
I led development of wealth-management applications serving more than 25,000 daily users and supporting a business with $463 billion in assets under management. The work covered hands-on implementation, technical direction, release quality, and coordination across dependent systems.
I worked with product, design, security, compliance, and executives across RBC, City National Bank, and IBM to turn financial requirements into reliable mobile experiences without weakening the controls around them.
I helped assess an outsourced engagement and transfer development of the City National Bank application in-house. Both shipped products later won Best Private Bank for Digital Client Communication in North America at the inaugural Global Wealth Tech Awards.
