I am available for part-time iOS consulting projects. I have been working with iOS since 2008, including Swift since 2014, and Objective-C since 1997. During the 2000s I worked with Cocoa, and WebObjects for Java, so my knowledge of the Apple developer ecosystem is very broad.

I have been a Lead iOS developer at many startups and companies, including Noom, The New York Times, and Mashable. I live and work remotely from the Pacific time zone in beautiful Penticton, BC, Canada. I have over 20 years of experience working remotely, and over 30 as a professional software developer.

Additionally, I specialize in mentoring iOS developers, and love to teach. If you or some of your employees require mentorship, I can help.

This (is all our fault)

Don’t read this BuzzFeed piece just before going to bed. It’s so depressing. It’s also sad to see how many of these issues are being imported to Canada. Somehow, a disturbingly meaningful number of Canadians do not even understand...
