Mobile Tech Lead

Citibank

Jul 2023 - Jun 2025 • 1 yr 11 mos

Led and coordinated mobile teams for iOS and Android initiatives, supervising delivery planning, sprint execution, code review and technical alignment with business requirements. Participated in requirements analysis, technical estimation, middleware-level service planning and mobile architecture decisions for projects associated with Banco Banamex. Supported quality engineering practices for mobile delivery, including functional, regression, integration and end-to- end validation of mobile flows across iOS and Android. Contributed to the creation, maintenance and troubleshooting of mobile automation frameworks, with focus on reliable execution, test lifecycle control, test listeners, hooks, interceptors and repeatable test data setup. Diagnosed and resolved automation instability caused by flaky tests, race conditions, asynchronous UI updates, synchronization gaps, unstable waits, network variability and inconsistent device state. Improved automation reliability through explicit synchronization, resilient locators for dynamic interfaces, controlled preconditions, clean session handling, permission management and evidence-based failure analysis using logs, screenshots and CI results. Worked with CI/CD and quality tools including Jenkins, SonarQube and Microsoft AppCenter to support continuous validation, build monitoring and mobile quality gates. Used code management and build tools such as Git, GitHub, Gradle and Carthage, contributing to technical governance and repository-level collaboration.

Mobile Tech Lead

ACE Team

Managed mobile delivery activities for iOS and Android teams, coordinating work with Product Owners, Team Leaders and stakeholders for Banco Itau Chile. Participated in requirements analysis, sprint planning, middleware service coordination and mobile-layer design for banking application flows. Supported the mobile QA and automation strategy across functional, regression, integration and end-to-end scenarios, ensuring coverage of critical user journeys and backend/mobile interactions. Maintained and troubleshot automation assets for mobile testing, including test setup and teardown, execution hooks, framework utilities, locator strategy review and CI execution support. Analyzed flaky tests and intermittent failures by reviewing device state, timing issues, asynchronous events, API response variability, session persistence, local storage, permissions and environmental differences between local and CI runs. Applied stabilization techniques such as replacing fixed waits with explicit synchronization, isolating test data, resetting device/application state, improving selectors and strengthening validation checkpoints. Collaborated with developers to trace mobile test failures to their origin in native application flows, API responses, UI rendering, state management or environment configuration. Worked with Jenkins, SonarQube and Microsoft AppCenter for continuous integration, quality monitoring and mobile build validation. Used Git, GitLab and Gradle for source control and build management, supporting repository-level collaboration and controlled delivery practices. Worked with Java, Spring Boot, Android Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, iOS Swift and SwiftUI, applying architecture patterns such as MVVM, Delegate, Singleton and Abstract Factory.
