UI/UX & iOS Development
Fintech & Insurance
Years across Austria's banking and insurance sector as a hybrid UI/UX designer and iOS developer, including George, one of Europe's leading digital banking platforms.
- Role
- Mixed UI/UX designer and iOS developer across several banks and insurers.
- Team
- Various agencies and in-house product teams
- Outcome
- Hands-on work across some of Austria's most-used financial products, in a regulated, high-trust domain where the screen has to be trusted with people's money.
Context
Before much of the rest of this portfolio, I spent years in a corner of design most people never see: banking and insurance software. I worked across a good slice of Austria’s financial sector, usually wearing two hats at once, UI/UX designer and iOS developer. This is older work, much of it under NDA or long since replaced, so I won’t pretend to walk you through screens I can no longer show. What I can give you is the shape of the experience and why it still counts.
Where I worked
- Erste Bank — iOS development on George, one of Europe’s leading digital banking platforms, used by over a million Austrians and rolled out across Central and Eastern Europe. Plus additional unreleased iOS work under NDA.
- BAWAG PSK and Easybank — iOS development on UI components.
- Raiffeisen Bank — supporting UI/UX designer across creative design-thinking sessions and an in-house insurance project.
- Cashpresso — UI/UX design.
- Wüstenrot — iOS development on their apps.
Why it matters
Two reasons. First, the domain. Banking and insurance are unforgiving: regulated, security-critical, and built for people who need to trust the screen with their money. Designing and shipping there teaches a discipline that carries into everything after it. Second, the hybrid. Moving between design and iOS code on the same products means I understand both sides of the handoff, what is easy, what is expensive, and where the two disciplines actually meet. That is still how I work today.
