Who is behind agonz{x}?

I'm Antonio, iOS Engineer at UserTesting, on the Participant Experience team: the apps people actually open to run a test. I own the full lifecycle, from build to distribution, and sit close enough to product and design to shape what ships as well as how it ships.

Three and a half years at XING before that, owning the job-application flow end to end. I framed the hypotheses, ran the A/B tests myself, and moved apply rate ~120% above where I started, without letting test coverage drop below 95%.

Started shipping iOS in 2020 at NexPlayer: code I wrote ended up inside Sky, HBO and Vodafone's video SDKs. A consulting stint at Hiberus (XING, 20 Minutos, Banca March) came right before XING took me on directly.

Lately, agentic workflows with Claude Code and Codex have changed how fast I ship, on iOS and now React Native too. The lab is where that speed turns into something useful for someone else, and it's the direction I want to keep growing in: less time explaining what's technically possible, more time deciding what's worth building.

Experience

Feb 2026 - PresentCurrent

iOS Engineer

Own the full lifecycle of the B2C iOS and React Native apps people use to take a test on their device: build, internal and App Store distribution, monitoring. Build the team’s own AI agents on top of Datadog via MCP. Embedded in product, weighing in on decisions before they reach the backlog.

Oct 2022 - Feb 2026

iOS Engineer

Owned the job-application flow end to end: the path from match to applied, on both the candidate and recruiter sides. Lifted apply rates ~120% over where I started, pushed test coverage from 60% to 95%+, and cut build times ~40% on a fully modular SPM codebase. A/B-tested most of it.

May 2021 - Oct 2022

iOS Developer

Built the iOS architecture for the 20 Minutos news app from scratch. Shorter rotations across XING and Banca March in between. Got used to dropping into a new codebase and being useful by week two.
