Product Engineering mindset
Collaborating across engineering, product and UX to translate user needs into durable mobile experiences.
Oscar Cuadra Navarro
I build native iOS products at the intersection of mobile engineering, AI-assisted development, architecture and product thinking. My work blends Swift, SwiftUI, GraphQL, observability, tooling and human-in-the-loop agent experimentation.
Profile
Hello, I'm Oscar, a Software Engineer from Chile with over 10 years of experience building scalable digital products, currently focused on iOS engineering. I work on production mobile systems, UIKit to SwiftUI modernization, GraphQL/Apollo integrations, observability, architecture, and tooling that helps teams move with more confidence. I am especially interested in the new shape of engineering work: how strong developers use AI agents, specifications, product context and human judgment to build better software.
Craft
Collaborating across engineering, product and UX to translate user needs into durable mobile experiences.
Designing maintainable iOS systems, guiding UIKit to SwiftUI migrations, and integrating GraphQL/Apollo, REST and observability in production.
Building with AI tools and coding agents as part of the development process, from specifications to implementation review.
Current Edge
The strongest engineering work now goes beyond writing clean code. I care about how teams use AI tools, agents, architecture and product judgment to raise the quality and velocity of what they ship.
Migrating UIKit surfaces into SwiftUI, improving architecture, and keeping production apps maintainable while teams continue shipping.
Experimenting with coding agents, Claude, Cursor and Codex to turn specs, product context and developer intent into safer implementation loops.
Connecting technical choices with user experience, observability, cross-team collaboration and clear technical storytelling.
iOS Engineer
Contributing to a global owner-facing iOS product at Expedia Group, building SwiftUI experiences and integrating GraphQL, RESTful services, Firebase and observability tooling to support reliable delivery for users worldwide.
Full Stack Developer
Contributed to a large-scale banking modernization effort, migrating legacy Java servlet workflows into a more maintainable Angular 10 and Node.js platform backed by Oracle services, with ownership across delivery, maintenance and deployments.
Full Stack Java Developer
Delivered multiple airline technology initiatives from concept to production, designing and implementing Java services and data-driven systems with Spring, JPA, Oracle, MySQL and Docker in a high-availability enterprise environment.
