VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 20) {
Text("Hello, World!")
.font(.system(.largeTitle, design: .rounded))
.fontWeight(.bold)
Text("iOS Developer | 4+ Years")

}About Me
I am a Senior iOS Developer with over 4 years of experience building and shipping scalable Swift applications to the App Store.
Specializing in both UIKit and SwiftUI, I possess deep knowledge of MVVM architecture, Functional Reactive Programming (Combine), multi-threading (Concurrency), and Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
I have a proven track record of implementing RESTful APIs, integrating the Firebase suite, and setting up automated CI/CD pipelines using Fastlane. I focus on optimizing app performance, fixing memory leaks, and engineering high-quality products from concept to store release.
