About Me
I am a senior developer, specialising in iOS and macOS apps and happy to work in both Swift and Objective-C. During the past 12 years working with agencies and start-ups in London, I have helped launch over a dozen apps and worked on a couple of dozen more. I have now relocated to Romania. I am available for fully-remote contract positions in EU/UK timezones, with billing via a UK-registered company.
