    Your app crashes, gets rejected, or ships late — I fix that. 10+ years shipping iOS apps, including one with 92,000+ App Store reviews. I take over messy codebases, clear App Review rejections, and ship clean releases that your team can actually maintain. What I'm hired for most: 🔴 App Store rejections — Guideline 2.1, 4.3, IAP/subscription issues, crash-on-launch. Diagnosed, fixed, resubmitted. Most clients are back in review within 72 hours. 🔧 Legacy codebase rescue — You inherited a project, the original dev is gone, and nothing builds. I audit it, stabilize crashes, fix the architecture, and hand you a clear roadmap. 🚀 New builds — Production-ready apps in SwiftUI/UIKit with Swift 6 concurrency, built to be handed off cleanly. ⚡ Hard integrations — HealthKit, BLE/CoreBluetooth, CoreML, StoreKit 2. The work most iOS devs quietly avoid. Domains I know deeply: Health & fitness (HealthKit, calorie/bariatric tracking), IoT & BLE hardware sync, subscription-based SaaS, AI-powered apps. Stack: Swift 6 · SwiftUI · UIKit · Objective-C · async/await, Actors, Sendable · Combine · SwiftData/Core Data/Realm · MVVM, TCA, Clean Architecture · StoreKit 2, RevenueCat, Apple Pay · URLSession/Alamofire/WebSocket · Push, Widgets, App Clips, Deep Links · Fastlane, GitHub Actions, Xcode Cloud · XCTest/Swift Testing How I work: Fixed-price for defined fixes, hourly for ongoing work at 10–20 hrs/week. You get written updates, not silence. 📩 Send me your App Store link or your rejection email. I'll tell you exactly what's wrong and what it takes to fix — before you pay me anything. Usually reply within 4 hours.

    Senior iOS developer specializing in Swift, SwiftUI, and production-grade Apple-platform apps. I’m deeply specialized in SwiftUI and have pushed it to its limits across complex production apps: custom layouts, advanced state management, async data flows, navigation, animations, performance tuning, UIKit/AppKit interop, and large modular codebases. I help founders and teams turn product ideas into polished, maintainable iOS/macOS apps. My work usually spans architecture, implementation, UX judgment, debugging, integrations, and release readiness. I’m especially strong with offline-first apps, realtime sync, Apple ecosystem integrations, extensions, widgets, Siri/Shortcuts, Spotlight, and AI-powered product features. Clients usually bring me in when they need more than ticket execution: someone who can take initiative, make sound technical decisions, improve the product experience, and ship reliably.
