Most clients come to me after a bad experience. A developer who went quiet mid-project. An agency that looked great on the call and disappeared after the deposit. Or they're posting a job and genuinely don't know how to tell who's worth trusting. I get it. Hiring a senior iOS/macOS developer or AI developer you've never met, for a product that actually matters to you, takes a leap. So here's what I can offer instead of asking you to just trust me: - a 100% Job Success Score built over real client relationships, - a 7+ month active partnership with a SaaS client where I delivered 3 production apps, - and a track record where 70%+ of projects turn into ongoing work. Not because I pitch retainers, but because the work holds up. I specialize in native iOS/macOS development and AI-powered products. I take full ownership from architecture to deployment and stay invested in whether what I build actually moves your business forward. Core technical depth: - Native iOS & macOS development (Swift, SwiftUI) - AI-powered apps and intelligent product features - Python backends, APIs, Firebase, Supabase - Audio, vision, and NLP-based AI systems - Clean architecture built for long-term maintainability and scalability If you're building something serious and need a partner who thinks about your product the way a technical co-founder would, let's talk.

30+ iOS apps live on the App Store. 10+ years building exclusively for Apple. 100% Job Success Score. Not a generalist who "also does mobile" this is all I do. Most developers spread across React Native, Flutter, Android, and whatever's trending. I made a different choice: go all-in on Apple and become genuinely world-class at it. Every project I've shipped runs on Swift and SwiftUI โ€” no cross-platform shortcuts, no compromises on performance or native feel. The result? Apps with 4.5โ˜…+ ratings, 10,000+ downloads, and clients who come back for the next version. What my Apple-only focus means for you: โ€” No learning curve on your budget โ€” I know Xcode, App Store Connect, and TestFlight cold โ€” Architecture decisions that scale โ€” no expensive rewrites 6 months later โ€” Zero surprise App Store rejections โ€” I know the review guidelines inside out โ€” Native Apple features done right: WidgetKit, Live Activities, iCloud sync, StoreKit 2, Sign in with Apple Tech I work with every day: Swift ยท SwiftUI ยท UIKit ยท CoreData ยท CloudKit ยท WidgetKit ยท StoreKit 2 ยท HealthKit ยท WatchKit ยท XCTest ยท Fastlane ยท TestFlight My track record on Upwork: โœ” Top Rated badge โœ” 100% Job Success Score โœ” 5+ years, 15+ apps delivered โœ” 4.5โ˜…+ average across shipped products โœ” 10,000+ combined app downloads I work best with: Founders and product teams who want a developer that cares about the product, not just closing the ticket. If native feel, App Store performance, and clean Swift code matter to you โ€” we'll get along well. Let's talk: Tell me what you're building. I respond within a few hours and happy to jump on a quick call to see if we're a fit. Updated: 12.06.26

I run User Group LLC, a solo software studio with two offerings: native macOS software and websites. Licensed and insured (GL $2M / E&O $1M), based in St. Petersburg, FL. Native macOS software Menu-bar tools, screen capture, developer utilities, and AI-powered desktop apps. SwiftUI, AppKit, ScreenCaptureKit. I've taken my own products through full Apple review cycles โ€” codesigning, entitlements, Sparkle auto-updates, the rejections, the resubmissions, the works. Shipped: DevCam (menubar screen recorder, App Store), Comprende (patent-pending VS Code extension with comprehension-gating for AI-generated code, live at comprende.dev). Websites Marketing sites, product sites, and small web apps. TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node, PostgreSQL, deployed on Cloudflare or Vercel. I build sites that load fast, look like the product they're selling, and don't fall over when traffic shows up. Shipped: six client and freelance sites, plus my own product sites for Comprende, DevCam, Sysilo, and Schemap. Recent client work OpenClaw โ€” a multi-model agent orchestrator with Slack and Gmail integration for a property management company. Delivered with a 5.0 review: "very communicative, very organized, went above and beyond." How I work Direct communication. No agency layer, no handoffs. I'm the person you hire and the person who builds it. I work AI-natively, which means I ship faster than developers who don't, and I've shipped my own products end-to-end โ€” so I think about your project the way a founder would. If you need a Mac app done right (App Store paperwork, codesigning, updates that actually work) or a website that looks and performs like the product behind it, let's talk.
