Hi! I'm Adélaïde, an iOS engineer fascinated by skies, plants and arts.
I make apps people feel something about, and I go past the public APIs when the experience asks for it. Two Swift Student Challenge awards, one of them shown to Tim Cook. I speak French and English fluently.

Looking for what's next! :)
Work
R&D Engineering Intern
Paris · the screen time app, ~1M daily active users
Joined when v4 was a single internal screen, shipped in every release since.
- Caught a launch crash on the first iOS 27.2 beta before a single user hit it. Traced it to a dependency and took it upstream.
- Shipped Autofocus's notification pipeline, then defined its next form: a small spirit in your phone that points at the door instead of saying "stop scrolling". Two on-device prototypes.
- Delivered the core flows every user touches: rule creation, a PIN lock on what weakens a rule, a home screen profile menu, tap-in tap-out tags for events.
- Rebuilt the night sky behind the home screen as a Core Animation scene in the .ca archive format Apple uses for its own system animations, through a SwiftUI package the team still builds on.
- Built a Bluetooth gem that locks and unlocks apps from a pocket. One press and a haptic to confirm, with the phone still locked.
iOS Engineer
Bordeaux · MindLift, micro-learning from self-development books
- Carried MindLift from day one through its first public iterations, pairing on production code with the product manager and the designer.
- Championed the book detail screen, then built it: a scroll-blur background with parallax, Apple TV style.
- Designed and shipped Stories end to end while my mentor was away.
- Hired for two months, kept for five.
