Hire the Best iOS Developers
in the United States

I’m Dean, a builder of businesses, systems, and products — blending iOS development, AI automation, and entrepreneurial grit. I’ve delivered impactful work for The University of Texas at Austin, where I built iOS and AI solutions for their medical department, and for Zello Inc., the #1 Walkie-Talkie app on the App Store, where I led development of key features like In-App Purchases and modernized a massive legacy codebase. I’ve also partnered with M&A agencies in Austin, TX to create automation systems that save time and close deals faster. Along the way, I’ve scaled multiple companies to 7-figures, designing and deploying dozens of automation systems, many of which have generated or saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for my clients. Some of my favorite builds include: • 🚀 AI-powered lead generation systems — sourcing leads, qualifying them, and reaching out via email, SMS, and social media with customized, AI-generated icebreakers. • 🚀 Content marketing engines — automatically creating blog posts, social media content, images, websites, and even YouTube videos. • 🚀 Onboarding workflows — fully automating client or employee onboarding, with payment forms, briefs, CMS integrations, and follow-ups. I’ve worked extensively with cutting-edge tools like GPT-4, Stable Diffusion, Make, Zapier, Node.js, and more. I’m also deeply familiar with nearly every CRM and project management platform — including Monday, Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Airtable, Keap, Salesforce — and have built numerous custom API integrations to make them even more powerful. My passion lies in building meticulous, robust systems that save time, increase revenue, and scale with your business — all while keeping the user experience front and center. If you’re looking for someone who combines technical expertise with an entrepreneurial mindset — and delivers high-quality work with excellent communication — I’d love to help you bring your vision to life.

Are you looking for an experienced iOS engineer to build a high-performance iOS application from scratch, modernize an existing codebase, or take your designs seamlessly to the App Store? I am a Senior iOS Software Engineer with over a decade of hands-on software development experience architecting, building, and scaling mobile applications for both fast-moving startups and enterprise platforms serving millions of active users (including CVS Health, DraftKings, and Masimo). Whether you need full lifecycle development from a blank Xcode project to the App Store or need to untangle and optimize an existing app, I focus on delivering clean, maintainable, and thoroughly tested Swift and SwiftUI code.

I build practical AI-powered software using a multi-model approach across OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok. Through Embr Intelligence™, I integrate the right AI model into mobile apps, dashboards, internal tools, and operational platforms based on the client’s needs. That can include AI-assisted review, structured analysis, content generation, research, workflow automation, decision support, and intelligent user experiences. My work combines AI integration with modern application development using technologies such as React, React Native, TypeScript, Capacitor, Supabase, Firebase, APIs, and cloud-based backend systems. Recent work includes mobile applications, operational dashboards, learning management systems, sober housing management software, sports performance platforms, AI-assisted review tools, and custom business workflow systems. I do not simply add a chatbot to an app. I help organizations determine where AI can provide real operational value, select the appropriate model or combination of models, and integrate it into software that staff and users can actually rely on.
