  • What I OFFer

    The most successful strategy for building a stable, high quality mobile app using both agile processes and Apple's own best practices 

    Agile Process

    I offer development with Agile methodologies, developing the app tightly alongside the designers to make sure we are utilising the best out of Apple's Core Systems.

    Enthusiasm and Positivity

    I bring a level of enthusiasm and positivity to any team, helping to get over that release mark or just getting the system stable that much easier.

    Swift

    I utilise the latest technologies from Apple, having 7 years experience with Swift, the latest iOS 17 practices and producing successful tvOS, macOS and watchOS apps along the way.

    Great depth of Knowledge

    I am able to look at an app and make calls for which route would bring the app to market faster, and how to utilise backend systems like Syncano or Firebase efficiently.

    AI Agentic Flows

    I utilise the latest AI to reduce time and perform tasks that are lengthy to save you time and money.

    I have been involved in many Agentic apps that include flows, N8N and Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT

    Hotels.com

    Hotels.com is a major brand in the hotels re-sale industry. A new version of their iOS app was needed and I got in at day one to rebuild the app from scratch. 

    18 Months on and it is a stable, high quality iOS app that Apple has promoted across many countries.

    It has been considered as the major success of the last year from hotels.com.

    This app supports over 50 different languages and 80 different countries, across all time zones.

    Nike+ Fuelband

    Nike built this app to connect with the piece of hardware called the 'Fuelband'. It connects over bluetooth and sends all information from it up to the server on your account. 

    With the latest version you can challenge your mates to a variety of activities in the day with points as the reward.

    This app uses a lot of asychronous backend connectivities to connect to the servers and the device, and the team was over the size of 15 developers.

    RBS

    RBS is a major bank in the UK and so security is a massive factor in this iOS app. 

    Using the latest cryptography to secure all transactions to and from the server, encryption on the database and using all the latest techniques in masking any user text input.

    This app was white-labelled so that it could be re-branded for Natwest.

    Memrise

    Memrise is a new and vastly improved way of learning topics. 

    Their selection of courses range from languages to composers, using asynchronous networking and the latest tricks within CoreData allows this app to work seamlessly under stress.

    Recently featured on Apple's 'Best New Apps'.

    Launch

    Launch is a new Mac App that creates great looking iOS screenshots for the iOS Appstore. 

    Using Asynchronous methods for loading the retina views and saving out. 

    This is a ground breaking Mac App that makes your iOS app look great and increases the chance of Apple promoting it.
