About Alex

Specializing in the Apple Ecosystem: Native High-Performance Apps for iOS, macOS & watchOS

Generalists do everything a little – I do Apple right. Forgoing cross-platform compromises means your app gets: maximum performance, a UI exactly according to Apple's **Human Interface Guidelines**, and deep hardware integration.

As a solo freelancer, I program your app independently from architecture to App Store release.

My Unique Selling Proposition: Performance & On-Device AI
My specialty is optimizing large machine learning models for mobile devices. I ensure that computationally intensive AI models run smoothly and resource-efficiently directly on the iPhone or Mac (On-Device ML) – without draining the battery and with 100% data privacy.

My Focus Areas:
  • 100% Native: iOS, macOS, watchOS (SwiftUI & Swift 6)
  • Performance: Memory, CPU & battery optimization, On-Device Machine Learning
  • Hardware & IoT: Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) & sensor data processing
  • Quality: Clean Architecture (MVVM) and reliable CI/CD setup

Looking for a developer who is deeply rooted in the Apple world and can independently elevate your code to the next level? Feel free to send me a message!
