My little vacation is nearing its end, so I might as well let everyone in on the news... I'm excited to announce that I'll be joining the Photos team at Apple! 🎉
@ChristianSelig
Nothing too crazy since I joined right at the start of bug fix season + was learning the codebase. I mostly moved pixels & buttons around to make things look ✨just right✨ and be ✨buttery smooth✨
I'm working on some cool stuff now & excited to share as they get released 😄
So many amazing people worked so hard on this; I'm honored to have been a part of the new Photos app! It's been a great journey so far and I can't wait to continue the story 🙂

I think this is the best take. I'm not sure what my opinion is of the ai pin, or whether it matters; but it's really cool to see a high quality thing developed by really talented people. This seems truly new, and we don't get new very often. I'm excited to watch the story unfold.
I don’t have a wisecrack or snark — this takes a lot of courage and a lot of vision to do. It’s worth celebrating that there’s talented people trying to do something very different.
Congrats to the
#SwiftStudentChallenge
winners and participants! We are delighted to celebrate this incredible generation of innovators and change makers. It takes courage to showcase your abilities, be proud of yourself for that!🤩
Yesterday’s post went kinda crazy! Never thought I’d get >1k followers in a day. I guess I have a small “platform” now, so hi 👋
Just so we’re all clear
Trans/women/gay rights are human rights
Abortion is healthcare
Everyone belongs in tech
Trump stole those documents
…etc
Everyone leaving the Bay Area after
#wwdc24
made me sad, so I decided to go on a little impromptu trip myself! I’ll be in Istria, Croatia for the time being. Come say hi if you’re in the area!
April 2022: left the toxic startup, took a month off to recoup and started at
@Apple
😄
March 2021: got my first full time job
2016-2020: college and side projects while job searching.
2015: still learning how to code
2014: started learning how to code
I know there are a lot of people on Twitter. I start pretty soon, and I would love to grab lunch/coffee and get to know people 🙂 Just hit me up on Slack next week!
Since joining the Photos team, I've grown more curious about getting into photography. Big surprise. I've had a DSLR for a while, and I figured out how to get it to capture RAW photos. The amount of 'hidden' detail in RAW photos is super cool! Here's some test photos/edits I did!
Seeing people arrive to the area already. Super exited to meet with people and hang out! Let me know if you want to grab coffee or do something! I live right in Downtown San Jose, so if you’re in the area give me a buzz!
Got rejected for an entry iOS position at google before I even spoke to anyone. I have almost 10 years of albeit informal iOS experience and just as many apps published. What more do people want? 😐
Today folks learn if they were lucky enough to get a golden ticket to attend the
#WWDC24
special event at Apple Park. If you won a spot: congratulations! But if not, there are lots of community events and meetups that will happen – it's fun to be in town anyway!
If you're coming to Cupertino during WWDC week (or any other week for that matter) and you like to golf, please reply to this thread! It would be fun to maybe organize some golf outings. The Bay Area has some stunning courses! ⛳️😄
I don’t mean to stir any pot, I just want to make sure that everyone who follows me knows where I stand so we don’t waste time bickering. I don’t care if you disagree with me, I’m just here to have fun and share things that are meaningful to me.
Cheers 🍺

Ugh let me try again...

Typical Thursday... Time for some 🍺🍺🍺
Going to the visitors center to check out the ted lasso merch. I have two spots if anyone needs a ride to San Pedro square for the core coffee meet up! DM or text me!
I've got a ton of responses from this! Most revolve around similar topics, so I figured I can just answer them here:
- Internship opportunities
I only know about what I shared. If I learn about anything, I'll post about it here. Check too.

It's kinda crazy to realize how far I've come. When I began iOS development I started to be analytical of the UI I saw in apps, thinking about how I could have recreated it. I just built something this evening that I thought was so hard when I started this journey 🙂
This is a total cheap shot at getting followers don't @ me.
I'll be giving away 5 free codes for
@ClearSpaces_
, ya know, since I made it and all lol.
Must be following me an
@ClearSpaces_
, It'll be a random draw. Good luck! 🥳
I like to come here when I’m faced with a difficult problem, or when things become overwhelming. It’s a great place to calm down, and reflect on the amount of lives the stuff I work on affect. I hope Elon reflects on the amount of lives he’s affected in the past few months.
If you think shining lasers at planes is a fun past time, not only are you wrong but you’re very much breaking the law.
Got hit twice on my flight from SBP->PAO. Never happened before. Not sure what about tonight is different but wow is it disorienting… here’s what it’s like
This car is just barely 1 year old. And if you look back in my tweet history, you can see all the other issues I've had with it.

here's your honest customer feedback

Use Snapkit!

Might not be fewer lines but definitely much less code and a lot cleaner/more readable.
At 4:38AM today I was sent a text message saying that I’m no longer part of the
@ClearSpaces_
team. What a great way to recognize all the hard work I’ve done from helping bring the app from 0-10k in sales in 2 months. On that note, is anyone hiring an iOS developer?
Because of my internship in 2018 my adjusted start date happens to fall on today, even though I started my current role in May of last year. I’d rather celebrate then, but I think it’s pretty cool that in the books my start date is on SJ’s birthday 😁
This is one of the reasons of why I chose Apple. Really proud to be part of a company that chooses to highlight culture and human decency rather than profit
New toy!
Not the best course though. Only one hole. No ball wash stations or course markers, and the marshal was super rude about my swing. Said “what the hell are you doing man?!”. I thought it was a nice drive.
I have a lot of thoughts on the current Twitter situation. None of them good. My heart goes out to everyone involved. Going through that in this job market because of a child billionaire is just cruel. I’m here to a resource to anyone at this time.
