Who am I?

Alex Bush photo

My name is Alex Bush. I'm an iOS consultant and architect. I've been developing for iOS for 14+ years and built apps ranging from small MVPs to large scale enterprise applications. Prominent companies I worked at are Wanelo, ThoughtWorks, Uber, Wayfair. Currently I'm an engineering manager at UpKeep.

I also host Inside iOS Dev YouTube channel.

This is a great book for iOS developers junior to senior! Here are some testimonials:

Alex Bush's book, "The iOS Interview Guide" is a very helpful resource for a variety of reasons. It helps the experienced developer prepare for their next career move by identifying concepts, and areas that technology companies will ask about during the application, and interview process. The book is an excellent resource because it's not simply a checklist of topics, and concepts, to study, but also discusses these concepts as well, and identifies potential pitfalls that the unsuspecting applicant may fall into during the interview process. This book is also a valuable resource for the junior developer who is trying to get an understanding as to what skills are expected from someone who is senior. This book helps chart a course for the junior developer in better improving their skills, and identifying those key areas which are important, thus allowing the junior developer to plan out their career development more efficiently. This book is indeed a valuable resource for developers in all stages of their careers. Thanks Alex for doing such a wonderful job!
- Fayyazuddin Syed, Senior iOS Developer
