Hi there. I'm Mauri 😄
What do I do?
💻 Software engineer coding professionally since 2013. By day I'm a Senior Mobile Engineer at Bitso; by night I'm chasing a AI masters degree at ORT university (Montevideo) — putting python AI fluency into real practice with Cursor and Claude Code 🐍🤖. I care about fullstack mobile development that lasts: clean architecture, automated testing, and dependencies you actually control.
On my spare time I like blogging, running, reading (A LOT) and cooking 👨🏽🍳
Tech I work with
- Swift: native iOS development and all Apple related ecosystem. My strong suite 📱
- Java: a bit of BE development I've been recently dipping my toe recently ☕️
- Kotlin: I've been dipping my toes in it since 2025. It was only natural to go there after so many years deep into iOS
- Automation: Maestro is my go-to for E2E hands-on integration test suite
- CI: Github actions all the way 🚀
- AI: Cursor & Claude code are my partners in crime here 🦾
📲 My apps
- MatchWords: use your wit to assemble words before time runs out!
- MyStickers: never lose track of your missing stickers again!
🧪 POCs
🛠 Tools
- MauriUtils: A set of canned helpers for Swift's rapid development and testing
