The hard part of shipping a SaaS isn't writing code — it's keeping iOS, Android, and Rails coherent across years of iteration. That's where I work. I'm a full-stack mobile engineer who designs, ships, and operates iOS (Swift / SwiftUI / SwiftData), Android (Kotlin / Jetpack Compose), and Ruby on Rails — all three layers — as a single developer. I've been writing code professionally for 20+ years and shipping to the App Store and Google Play for over a decade. Since 2025 my focus has been AI-driven development with Claude Code and the Claude Agent SDK. Recent independent work: • Printora — iOS app that auto-detects people in photos and arranges them into A4-optimized print layouts. Swift / SwiftUI / SwiftData / Vision Framework. 491 unit tests with Swift Testing. RevenueCat freemium. On the App Store. • My Texas Method — Strength-training program generator based on the Texas Method. Swift 6, Swift Charts, SwiftData, and an Apple Watch companion via WatchConnectivity. 973 unit tests. Ranked #23 on Product Hunt's daily leaderboard (74 upvotes). • nativeapptemplateapi — Rails 8.1 multi-tenant SaaS API using Solid Queue / Cable / Cache (no external Redis), acts_as_tenant, devise_token_auth, pundit. Listed on Awesome Rails. • nativeapptemplate-agent — Claude Agent SDK CLI (Node 22 + TypeScript) that scaffolds iOS / Android / Rails projects with a multi-agent pipeline (Planner / Workers / Reviewer / Judge), Opus 4.7 vision-model UI scoring, and mobile-mcp UI automation. Built at Cerebral Valley's "Built with Opus 4.7" hackathon and published to npm. • NativeAppTemplate-Free-iOS — open-source modern app template with auth + NFC. 98★ on GitHub. Contract highlight: an XCFramework that reads Japanese Residence Cards (在留カード) over NFC, based on the Ministry of Justice public spec, validated with real test cards at the Immigration Services Agency, 96% unit-test coverage. Strengths: shipping mobile + backend single-handedly, taking products all the way from concept to App Store / Product Hunt / npm / OSS, and applying agent-based workflows to real shipping products. Stack: Swift / SwiftUI / Kotlin / Jetpack Compose / Ruby on Rails / Hotwire / Tailwind CSS / TypeScript I'm actively open to new opportunities — full-time, contract, or interesting collaborations. I prefer environments where I can use Claude Code as my coding assistant.
