What I'm looking for

I'm looking for native iOS contract or fractional work where I can ship bounded changes in mature codebases, improve architecture without unnecessary rewrites, and build reliable Swift systems.

I've shipped and maintained native iOS functionality at Bleacher Report and Premise Data, working in mature consumer and data-product codebases across UIKit, networking, app state, architecture, code review, and release constraints.

I enter existing systems carefully: tracing lifecycle and state, making bounded SwiftUI/UIKit changes, integrating APIs, debugging production issues, and improving architecture without rewriting working software.

In my independent Swift systems work, I design packages and native runtimes using structured concurrency, strong type boundaries, deterministic tests, Swift Package Manager, and production-oriented failure handling. My public projects Wax and Swarm focus on local-first memory, type-safe tools, persistence, retrieval, and Apple-platform workflows.
