🚀 I've shipped real iOS & macOS apps — HealthKit integrations, AI-powered tools, and App Store-ready products built with Swift, SwiftUI, and Objective-C. If you need a Senior iOS & macOS Developer who has already solved the problems your project will face, keep reading. What I've Built Over the past few years, I've developed and shipped iOS & macOS apps across health & fitness, AI tools, and on-demand services — using Apple Xcode, iOS SDK, SwiftUI, and native Swift: A health insights app with Apple HealthKit, wearable data, and AI (Klarity) An AI Logo Maker with real-time design generation and dynamic templates A Thumbnail Maker with Firebase, AWS S3, and OpenAI API integration A walking & fitness app with step tracking and goal-based programs A car rental platform with booking workflows and secure authentication These weren't side projects. They were production apps built for real users and shipped through the App Store. What I Build For You ✅ Full iOS & macOS app development — Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Objective-C ✅ iOS SDK, HealthKit, Firebase, REST API, and OpenAI integration ✅ Apple Xcode-based clean architecture built to scale, not just to ship ✅ App Store submission, approval support, and TestFlight setup ✅ Bug fixing, legacy Objective-C migration, and performance optimization How I Work I start by understanding your goal, not just your feature list. Then I build with clean architecture using SwiftUI or UIKit — whichever fits your product best — test thoroughly, and stay with you through App Store launch. You won't need to chase me for updates. I communicate clearly, flag problems early, and treat deadlines seriously. Who I Work Best With Founders and small teams who have a real product idea and need a Senior iOS & macOS Developer who can own the Apple ecosystem end-to-end — iPhone, iPad, and Mac — without hand-holding. 📩 Send me a message with what you're building. I'll tell you honestly if I can help, which stack fits best, and how long it will take.

I build native iOS apps that put machine learning on the device - not in the cloud. Before iOS, I spent a decade as a quantitative risk analyst for banks including Barclays and Absa, building credit-risk and Basel II models in SAS and C++. I hold a PhD in Computer Science (AI), specialising in heuristic search. That background is why clients bring me the AI/ML problems other iOS developers can't touch I don't just implement a model; I know whether it's the right model to begin with. - Clients have been impressed by my professional approach, ability to complete tasks ahead of schedule, and deep knowledge of iOS development. - Exceptional problem-solving skills, innovation, self-management and excellent communication abilities. - An active contributor to GitHub. Some of my key success areas are: - Converting Python/PyTorch machine learning models into Core ML and getting them running efficiently on-device - no live connection or ongoing API costs. - Integrating AI and machine-learning models into iOS apps more broadly. - Updating or fixing older, defunct apps written in Objective-C or Swift. - Using and integrating with backend services such as REST APIs. Core skills (not an exhaustive list) - Worked with HealthKit, CoreBluetooth, CoreGraphics, UIKit, SwiftUI, CoreLocation, In-App Purchases, CoreData, and many other iOS frameworks. - Built geospatial apps, maps, R-Tree algorithms, and large-scale geo-data solutions on iOS.
 - Skilled with UI/UX animation tools such as PaintCode, and with embedding assets in CoreGraphics efficiently. - Experienced with AI technologies such as MyScript (handwriting recognition) and staying familiar with newer platforms such as OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. - Proficient in using architectural patterns such as Model-View-ViewModel + Coordinator (MVVM-C), applying them in UIKit and MapKit for geospatial apps, and binding data and presentation with RxSwift and Combine. - Skilled in creating Swift Packages and incorporating code from C/C++, Objective-C, and Swift — giving other developers a clean way to use mathematical or statistical libraries without deprecated-code or linkage issues, while preserving unit tests for macOS builds. - Proficient in Python 3 for preparing, analysing, or transforming data for AI/ML models before migrating a pre-existing model to the macOS/iOS AI/ML toolchain (Core ML, Vision, Speech, etc.) via .mlmodel, .mlpackage, etc, files. The AI Co-worker's policy - Always adhere to the client's AI policies when using agentic-AI workflows within my development process. - Prioritize local LLMs as the first choice to preserve data privacy and keep intellectual property inside the development environment. - Cloud AI (ChatGPT, Claude) is used only as a last resort and only with the client's permission. - Running local LLM models provides flexibility in selecting the most appropriate model (e.g., Qwen-3 Coder, Llama, IBM Granite) for tasks such as debugging code, generating boilerplate, or performing code reviews. You, the client(s) - High client-retention rate (80%+); clients keep coming back! - Experience on $50k-plus projects, though I also enjoy smaller, intellectually stimulating assignments. - More than just "fingers and hands that punch code." - I plan my schedule in alignment with your needs. Courses and licences by IBM - Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning — Certificate S7Z8ZA6VPDJD - Unsupervised Machine Learning — Certificate W0JPSC2N0S36 - Supervised Machine Learning: Classification — Certificate BCYGSJNSWTWY - Supervised Machine Learning: Regression — Certificate H8WXTNBHTAVZ - Exploratory Data Analysis for Machine Learning — Certificate 2RH34AOEWB14 All verifiable in the Licenses section. Selected client feedback - "…works well independently, brings new insights and polished solutions, responsive and clear with top-quality work. Have already hired again!" - "We knew we would need a highly organized and innovative developer who could self-manage the development process, and Theo delivered." - "Excellent work – understood the task well, provided good feedback, completed work within schedule." - "Provided a very straightforward and well-thought-out plan." - "Theo would be the best choice." Recent work: - An on-device ML classifier built on Apple Health data, a cross-platform iMessage sticker app, and performance work on a high-traffic chat app. - If your model was trained in PyTorch or TensorFlow and you're not sure it'll convert cleanly to Core ML — that's exactly the kind of problem I catch early, before it turns into a rebuild. I've delivered $50k+ projects but genuinely enjoy smaller, interesting ones too. Want to talk it through first? Book a 30-minute consultation for $50. If you're interested or need more information, let me know.
