I've been working as an iOS Developer for 14 years.
Experienced in both Swift and Objective-C, I have developed apps for the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV. I've worked on Android too, both Java and Kotlin.
I have submitted many apps to the App Store, with complex interfaces, extensive web service communication, and multimedia content.
Some of these apps got good references in the press, and one of them, Back in Time, was selected by The New York Times as one of the Top 10 iPad apps of the year.

I build high performing Mobile Apps for ambitious brands. If you need a reliable Mobile App Developer or Flutter Developer, I deliver results as a dedicated Cross-Platform Developer, iOS Developer, and Android Developer.
Buggy interfaces, crashing screens, and messy State Management are killing your user retention and eating into your profit margins. Let me fix that.
I specialize in iOS & Android Development that scales, using a rigorous, manual coding approach to ensure rock-solid Mobile Architecture. I do not rely on brittle, auto-generated AI shortcuts; I build the foundational infrastructure from scratch so your product actually works and scales without breaking. Whether you need immediate Technical Debt Rescue for a stalled app, intensive Legacy Code Refactoring, or rapid MVP Development engineered correctly from day one, I deliver Custom Mobile Solutions focused on flawless user experiences and App Performance Optimization.
Here is how I drive real business results through clear, high-quality app development:
Bringing your new app idea to life: Starting entirely from scratch? I take your vision and build a rock-solid app from day one. Instead of rushing a messy prototype, I write clean, custom code from the ground up so you launch a polished product that actually works saving you from expensive rewrites down the road.
Making it easy for users to pay you: I build smooth, simple checkout screens and subscription setups. If your payment process is frustrating, people will leave without buying. I fix those roadblocks so your app generates reliable revenue and you stop losing sales at the finish line.
Fixing broken apps to save your ratings: Have an app that crashes, lags, or freezes constantly? Users will delete it and leave bad reviews. I step in to rescue messy code and clean it up from the inside out. The result is a stable, crash-free app that keeps your users happy and protects your brand's reputation.
Building fast apps that grow with you: Nobody likes a slow app. I write solid infrastructure by hand without relying on lazy AI shortcuts so your product stays lightning-fast. Whether you have a hundred users or a hundred thousand, your app will feel smooth, responsive, and ready for growth.
Stop losing users to slow load times and broken features.
Message me with your biggest current app bottleneck or your Figma design link, and I will give you a free, straightforward technical assessment on exactly what it will take to fix it or launch it.
