All Eyes on iOS

This month, we will be at Sky. To coincide with Apple's World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC), our talks will be all about iOS.

First up, Oliver Binns.

Building the Foundations

It’s widely reported that Apple are late to the AI party. But are they really? And does it even matter? Let’s dive into what we can achieve with the new Foundation Models API, what’s still missing and most importantly how we can best draw on it to really help our users.

Oliver is an experienced software engineer based in London, but originally from West Yorkshire. After attaining an IET accredited master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of York, he started his career building websites in PHP and JavaScript, before pivoting into native iOS development. He has worked on highly-rated mobile apps for airlines, healthcare organisations and even government departments. Oliver was shortlisted for British Computer Society’s Engineer of the Year 2024.

Second up, Kalin Balabanov.

Kalin is a self taught software engineer at Bet365 with 4 years of experience. He has worked on many different apps during that period as well as building a small business on the side
