01
Who I am
I'm Abhishek, an iOS developer currently based in India. I spend most of my days writing Swift, thinking about UI behaviour, and trying to ship things that actually work well on a phone.
I work at Sysmind Tech, where I manage the mobile side of Melp.us, a consumer app that I've been building and maintaining across multiple releases.
02
What I build
Most of my work lives inside iOS apps, SwiftUI layouts, UIKit components, Firebase integrations, CoreData persistence, the whole stack. I care about apps that feel right: responsive, predictable, and not frustrating to use.
- Swift & SwiftUI
- UIKit
- Firebase
- CoreData
- REST APIs
> why mobile security
The more time I spent inside iOS apps, the more I started wondering what was going on underneath.
reverse engineering · data exposure · developer assumptions
status: learning the tools, building the fundamentals

Why mobile security
The more time I spent inside iOS apps, the more I started wondering how apps could be reverse engineered, where data could leak, and what assumptions developers make that attackers don't share.
I'm moving gradually toward mobile app security and cybersecurity, learning the tools, building the fundamentals, and eventually wanting to work on the defensive and research side of the apps I already know how to build.
04
Beyond code
Outside of work I write occasionally, try to stay consistent at the gym, and read a lot, mostly things that teach me something useful. I like building things that solve real, small problems. Not everything needs to scale.
writing iOS notes
Usually short notes on what I'm building and what I'm figuring out.
training consistency
Trying to stay steady at the things that compound, even when progress feels slow.
