Description

Independent iOS & macOS developer — native Apple apps, from concept to App Store.

I design and develop native iPhone and Mac applications in Swift and SwiftUI, from idea to publication. No hybrid frameworks: 100% native, designed to be fluid, reliable, and respectful of Apple's standards.

What I can do for you:

• Design and develop your iOS or macOS application from A to Z

• Take over, fix, or evolve an existing app

• Assist you all the way to App Store publication (and macOS notarization)

• Integrate iCloud / CloudKit, widgets, Live Activities, App Intents, in-app purchases

Some achievements:

• Luné — iOS tracking app for new parents, published on the App Store (iCloud sync between two parents, no account or third-party server)

• Cleared — native macOS tool for developers, distributed as a notarized DMG

• Preflight — open source component (MIT) extracted from Cleared, with a command-line tool for continuous integration

I work with a local-first approach and with real attention to data privacy. Direct approach, clean code, concrete deliverables.

Independent iOS & macOS developer — native Apple apps, from concept to App Store.

I build native iOS and macOS apps in Swift & SwiftUI, from idea to release. 100% native, no hybrid frameworks.

What I can do for you:

• Design and build your iOS / macOS app from scratch

• Take over or evolve an existing app

• Ship all the way to the App Store (and macOS notarization)

• iCloud / CloudKit, widgets, Live Activities, App Intents, in-app purchases

Selected work: Luné (iOS, on the App Store), Cleared (native macOS dev tool, notarized DMG), Preflight (open source MIT core + CLI for CI).

Local-first, privacy-focused. Clean code, concrete deliverables.

Design and release of Preflight, the open source core (MIT license) extracted from my app Cleared: an engine for parsing and analyzing Apple builds.
Open source project built to be reusable by the community. Key points:
• Swift library for build parsing/analysis, isolated from the rest of Cleared to work standalone
• Command-line tool (CLI) for integration into CI/CD pipelines
• Deliberate open/closed boundary: App Store Connect-coupled checks stay closed, build parsing is open
• Open source distribution: MIT license, documentation, packaging for external adoption
Approach: extract a reusable component from an existing product, document it, and open it cleanly to the developer community.

Design and development of Cleared, a native macOS app for developers: a tool to analyze and prepare builds before App Store submission.
Native app (Swift / SwiftUI), distributed outside the Mac App Store as a notarized DMG (Developer ID + Apple notarization). Key points:
• Build parsing and analysis to catch issues before submission
• Processing core extracted and open-sourced (see Preflight)
• Standalone distribution: Developer ID signing, notarization, DMG packaging
• Built for reliability and speed on Apple Silicon Macs
Solo project end to end: design, native macOS development, and full distribution pipeline.
