I’ve always loved system design, and nothing beats designing a system that needs to be able to support millions and millions of users. Another thing I miss sometimes is being able to spend a lot of time focusing on architecture and designing systems. So seeing your work have that kind of impact on people’s everyday life was an amazing feeling. That was kind of amazing and surreal in many ways. You could be building a UI, and then two or three weeks later, you would see someone on the subway using that UI that you just built. One thing that was incredibly cool working for a company like Spotify was working on such a large-scale, popular product.

Only the free snacks in the office! No, just kidding ] What do you miss (if anything) from working at a company like Spotify? I’ve never been a huge fan of strict processes and office politics, and being a freelancer lets me get away from all of that and enables me to focus on coding and working directly with other developers and designers. I love working remotely since it lets me set my own schedule in a more free-form way – which is super useful since I love to do things like travelling and working more flexible hours. The freelance lifestyle has always appealed a lot to me (I was a freelancer before I joined Spotify too), since it gives you so much freedom as to how, where and who you’ll work with. What was the best thing about going freelance and why? John Sundell was a lead iOS developer at Spotify.
In order to continue growing as a developer, and to get to work with an even broader set of technologies, I decided that my best option was to go freelance to be able to work with more people in more different contexts. But after those years, I felt like I was ready for some new adventures. I learned so much, got to work on a really exciting product and met so many great developers. I worked at Spotify for 3.5 years, and it was an amazing experience. How and why did you make the decision to go freelance? John, you were previously a lead iOS developer at Spotify. John is also a keen open-source fan and contributes to regular projects on Github. John is now a respected member of the iOS community with his headline Swift by Sundell and various talks at conferences around the world. John Sundell, previously a lead iOS developer at Spotify, is now enjoying life as a freelance developer.
