I build production mobile apps and the backends that power them – from architecture to App Store. When a project needs system design before code, I deliver that too.
Over 20 years I've shipped iOS and Flutter apps across industries that demand reliability: medtech (RYAH — BLE-connected medical inhalers with real-time device logging), fintech (mobile payment platform, leading a team of 4), POS systems (Clover — dual-pricing app with Flutter web + Kotlin Android + Firebase backend), automotive HMI (Ferrari F152 at Luxoft), and enterprise banking (Deutsche Bank).
I work as a sole developer or lead small teams, and I own the full delivery lifecycle: architecture, development, CI/CD pipelines (automated builds to Slack and TestFlight on git push), and release management. My experience in project coordination and requirements analysis allows me to step into PM and BA roles when the project calls for it.
What I bring that most mobile devs don't:
→ Server-side Swift with Vapor — I maintain Passage, an authentication framework in the vapor-community GitHub org. JWT, OAuth, passwordless login, email/phone verification, and account linking as composable modules.
→ Full-stack Firebase — Cloud Functions, Firestore, Realtime Database, Hosting, Messaging. Not just "I've used Firebase" — I architect complete backends with it.
→ Deep native integration — CoreBluetooth/BLE, HealthKit, PassKit, NFC. At RYAH I redesigned the command throttling layer and cut Bluetooth packet loss by 95%. The kind of work that breaks most mobile developers.
→ Cross-platform development — I build and ship Flutter apps to both App Store and Google Play (B2B Merchants PR, Sapphire Blessings). At anyIP I designed and maintain client SDKs across Swift, Android, Flutter, Unity, and React Native, all bridging to a Rust core via FFI/JNI and distributed through SPM, Maven, pub.dev, and npm.
→ SwiftUI architecture — I prefer to lean on what the platform provides: native dependency injection via Environment, @Observable for state management, and AsyncSequence/AsyncStream for reactive data flow. No heavy third-party frameworks where Apple already solved the problem.
→ Solution architecture — when the build can't start until the design is right, I deliver: system architecture documents, component diagrams, API specifications, data flow diagrams, integration strategies, tech stack recommendations, and implementation roadmaps. ERD, DFD, UML, BPMN when the team needs them.
I'm an active open-source contributor with 65 public repositories on GitHub.

More than 15 years experience in software technology.
While in recent years I have shifted my focus to software development, the majority of my career has been leading business teams in customer facing roles. This gives me a unique perspective on development and greater understanding of business requirements when working on a development project.
My most recent software development projects include:
- a social voting application
- an adventure focused deal finder application with geo-mapping
- a storybook activity app for pediatric patients & their families in hospital
- a peer to peer rental marketplace complete with a reservation & peer review systems
My preference is to build mobile apps in Google's Mobile App SDK (Flutter) which allows me to build native iOS and Android apps from a single codebase. Benefits of using Flutter include:
- exceptionally fast turnaround times
- significant cost savings for my clients
- a single and clean codebase making future development easier and cheaper for clients
- native integrations with Google's serverless applications, cloud hosted databases & storage
I can also develop native apps in Swift/Objective-C or Kotlin/Java if required.
In addition to mobile app development, I also have experience working with:
- Django applications
- developing & implementing machine learning models in Python with scikit-learn
- utilizing TensorFlow transfer learning techniques on Computer Vision models for image recognition engines
- junior web developer working primarily with the React framework
If you have any specific questions, please reach out.
Cheers,
Jeremiah

I lead mobile product delivery end to end, building iOS apps with SwiftUI as well as cross-platform apps using Flutter.
If you need ownership (not just someone to write code), I can take your mobile product from early MVP to a stable App Store release. For SwiftUI-focused needs, I also take selective individual engagements where strong iOS expertise is critical.
What I work on:
• Native iOS apps built with SwiftUI (clean architecture, performance, polished UX)
• Cross-platform apps with Flutter (iOS & Android)
• Backend/API integrations, authentication, payments, push notifications
How I work:
• Clear scope and milestone-based delivery
• Weekly progress updates or demos
• Strong focus on maintainable code and predictable releases
Team model (important):
I am your main point of contact and personally handle architecture and critical parts of the app. When projects require more speed or parallel work, I scale delivery with my small in-house team (design and development support), while remaining fully accountable for the outcome.
Typical engagements:
• MVP builds with fixed-price milestones
• Monthly product support or feature development ($12k–$20k / month, depending on scope)
• SwiftUI feature work, refactors, and improvements (solo)
If this sounds aligned, share your project goal and current state, and I’ll respond with a clear plan and realistic next steps.

Funded startups hire me to take a mobile app from plan to a revenue-generating launch on the App Store and Google Play.
The last app I led as mobile developer now does $10.8M ARR with 80,000+ paying subscribers and a 5.0 rating on both stores.
In 7+ years on iOS and Android, apps I've built have generated $15M+ in revenue for my clients, serve 110,000+ paying users, and hold 5.0 ratings across 10,000+ App Store and Google Play reviews.
You might be shipping your MVP, rebuilding a V2 your first version outgrew, or holding an AI-built prototype that's stuck before launch. Anyway, I take it the rest of the way: architecture, build, store approval, and the payment, compliance, and edge-case work that decides whether an app survives real users.
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 (𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲)
- PawSquad: pet care subscription app. Lead mobile developer. 80,000+ paying users, 3,300+ reviews, 5.0 on both App Store and Google Play. $10.8M ARR.
- Jasomi: fintech app, built end to end. 10,000+ active users.
- ConnectingKnox: local business discovery app. 193 paying businesses onboarded in month one.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸
1. Blueprint. Every feature, cost, risk, and timeline on paper before any code. You know exactly what you're paying for.
2. Weekly builds. You see and test a working app every week. No black box, no "it's almost done."
3. Launch. I handle App Store review, Google Play, servers, and monitoring, so the tech side runs without you.
Along the way I catch the things first builds usually miss: bad UX, subscription edge cases (failed renewals, refunds, family sharing), and compliance gaps, before they become expensive.
𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸
* React Native, Expo, and Flutter for one codebase on both platforms;
* Swift and Kotlin when native is the right call.
* Node.js, Supabase, and Firebase backends.
* In-app purchases and subscriptions with RevenueCat and Stripe.
* Push notifications, live chat, maps and geofencing, and AI features with the Claude and OpenAI APIs.
𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 where you are now: idea, designs, AI prototype, or a live app.
You'll get an honest answer on whether I'm the right fit and what to build first.

EXPERIENCE
I’m a seasoned iOS developer with 12 years of experience making 5-star-rated apps for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. In my previous role as a full-time senior developer, I was responsible for the development of business and productivity apps - document processing, cloud storage, and online collaboration. Before I fell in love with iOS I had 10 more years of experience developing mobile applications for Symbian, Palm, and Windows Mobile.
I am familiar with most standard iOS APIs such as UIKit, Foundation, SwiftUI, Combine, animations, in-apps, push notifications, MapKit, StoreKit, StoreKit 2, Sign In with Apple, etc. I can help with App Store Review guidelines and issues. I’ve used many third-party frameworks like Firebase, AdMob, Facebook SDK, Flurry, AppsFlyer, etc. Dev tools: Xcode, Git, Figma, Jira, Trello, TestFlight, Jenkins.
Don’t hesitate to drop me a message. I’d love to discuss your project.

Senior independent iOS / Apple-platform engineer with 10+ years shipping for product teams across operations platforms, healthcare, fintech, media, and B2B SaaS. I partner with founders of B2B operations platforms — equestrian, fitness, healthcare, last-mile logistics, automotive — on multi-month engagements. Not single-feature gigs.
Currently in 2-year partnership with a B2B operations platform in the equestrian industry: shipped v1 → seed round closed, architected v2 multi-app ecosystem (barn operations, pro tools, end-user app, payments, orders, billing) → next round in progress.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
FOCUS INDUSTRIES
═══════════════════════════════════════════
▸ Equestrian operations
▸ Fitness facility operations
▸ Healthcare operations
▸ Last-mile logistics
▸ Automotive services
Adjacent operations-tech (case-by-case): agtech, field service, construction tech, hospitality ops, mobile professionals.
The common thread: software where digital meets physical, and mobile is mission-critical for operators in the field — drivers, technicians, trainers, practitioners, field workers.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT I DO
═══════════════════════════════════════════
→ Lead end-to-end iOS / Apple-platform delivery for B2B operations platforms (typically post-Series A, $1-15M raised)

→ Embed as fractional CTO when founders need senior Apple judgement without hiring full-time
→ Audit existing iOS codebases before fundraising rounds or major hires
═══════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT I DON'T DO
═══════════════════════════════════════════
→ Single-feature gigs under $3k or 2-week sprints
→ MVP-from-scratch for non-funded ideas
→ Cross-platform (React Native, Flutter) — I work native iOS
→ White-label "rent my GitHub stats" arrangements
═══════════════════════════════════════════
ENGAGEMENT MODES
═══════════════════════════════════════════
▸ PROJECT PARTNERSHIP (3-9 months)
Lead engineer for full delivery cycle. When scope demands more hands, I assemble small senior teams from a network of senior contractors I've worked with for years.
▸ FRACTIONAL CTO RETAINER (6-18 months)
1-3 days/week embedded with founder. Architecture, hiring, code reviews, technical strategy, investor-readiness on the technical side.
▸ ADVISORY DIAGNOSTIC (1-2 weeks)
Codebase audit, architecture review, build-vs-buy assessment. Often the start of something longer.
═══════════════════════════════════════════
TECHNICAL STACK
═══════════════════════════════════════════
Apple platforms: iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, CarPlay, Vision Pro
Languages: Swift, Objective-C
UI: SwiftUI, UIKit
