Employee at GoodBarber

I'm an iOS Engineer at GoodBarber, where I've been working on the native iOS engine behind our apps since 2024. Day to day, that means a mix of Swift, UIKit and a fair share of Objective-C, plus a lot of thinking about software architecture, clean code and performance.

I started out in Biomedical Engineering and ended up in software, exploring all sorts of topics along the way. I'm curious by nature, so here you'll find me writing about iOS and whatever else sparks that curiosity.

Siri Actions: ask your GoodBarber iOS app for its latest article or video

Siri Actions now answers two new questions: the latest article and the latest video in a section of a GoodBarber iOS app. Siri names the item and offers to open it by voice. They reach every app with its next store update. Siri Actions is the set of questions a GoodBarber iOS app answers out loud, for newspapers, radio stations, schools, organizations and any app that publishes content. Its first question, "What's new", gives an overview of your home screen. When we launched it in September 2026, we said the next one would be the latest article in a section. Here it is, and the latest video comes with it. Each goes straight to one item and offers to open it. Your audience goes from a question to the article in a single conversation, without searching for it.
