About me
Intro
I build iOS apps people actually enjoy using. Swift is my core, with SwiftUI and UIKit where they fit best. I focus on performance, clean architecture, and code that lasts. At Plum, I work on user-facing fintech features with real impact. I’ve also shipped apps across mobility and enterprise, and built products like PromptBar and imjaDNS. I like owning the full journey, from idea to release, making smart trade-offs along the way.
