Building polished iOS apps and companion web systems - real-time, payments, and all the tricky bits.
I'm an iOS-first engineer who loves the intersection of elegant mobile UX and reliable backend systems. I ship production-ready apps — SwiftUI on the front, Firestore in real-time, Stripe handling the money, all wrapped up with clean code and a tidy handoff.
- 🍎 iOS-first: SwiftUI, Combine, CoreLocation, CoreML
- 🌐 Web companion: React, TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind
- 💳 Payments: Stripe, Apple Pay, Square Tap-to-Pay
- 🔥 Backend: Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Functions, Messaging), Node.js, Express
- 🤝 Open-source enthusiast — I genuinely enjoy contributing
Straightforward, on time, proper job done.
