About me

Picture of my head

I live in New York and I write iPhone apps.

I’ve been programming for two decades, and it’s been an interesting journey. Backend Perl, Ruby, Python and Java, then Android, then iPhone, iPad and Mac. Nowadays I mostly focus on iPhone and iPad. I’m familiar with UIKit and SwiftUI, Swift and ObjectiveC, large teams and small teams. I ship pragmatic solutions to real problems rather than burying them in architecture.

Until recently I worked for Dropbox on their mobile team. Previous employers include Facebook/Meta, Eventbrite, Dopplr, Nokia and Fotango. I’ve lived in London, Berlin, San Francisco and New York.

I’m currently looking for work.
