Native iOS app development in Swift

I build and maintain high-quality native iOS apps—whether you’re starting from zero, improving an existing product, or adding a contractor to your team. I focus on clarity, reliability, and shipping.

Native Swift development for new apps, existing apps, and teams that need extra capacity.

0 → 1

MVPs & new products

Build the first version fast—without making a mess you’ll regret later. Great for founders and small teams.

SwiftUI or UIKit (depending on needs)
Analytics + monetization hooks if needed
App Store readiness (build settings, metadata needs, release flow)

Maintenance

Improve & stabilize existing apps

Fix bugs, improve performance, modernize code, and ship new features without derailing your team.

Refactors that reduce future cost
Crash/bug triage and hardening
OS updates, dependency cleanup, tech debt reduction

Teams

Contractor on your team

Join your team with your existing tools and processes: tickets, PRs, code review, and consistent delivery.

Strong PR hygiene and documentation
Clear written updates and predictable progress
Comfortable with greenfield or legacy code

Build partner

Solo dev + product collaboration

If you don’t have an in-house iOS team, I can own the build end-to-end while collaborating closely on product.

Requirements → milestones → shipping
Pragmatic decisions and tradeoffs documented
Smooth handoff if you hire internally later
Option

Work with me + a mentee

Get extra capacity at a reduced rate—without taking on risk.

Supervised delivery
Reduced rate
Quality guaranteed

Two people, one accountable outcome

If your project is a good fit, you can choose a model where a mentee helps build under my direct supervision. I assign tasks, review every significant change, and I’m responsible for the final result. You get more throughput, while keeping a single point of accountability.

What this is great for

Incremental feature work with clear acceptance criteria
UI polish, screens, flows, and cleanup tasks
QA fixes, refactors, tests, and “make it solid” work
Backlog reduction when your timeline matters

How quality is protected

I break down work into reviewable milestones and tickets
I review and approve PRs before anything merges
I handle architecture, tricky parts, and final integration
You still get a single person accountable: me

This option is offered selectively depending on scope and timeline. If you’re interested, mention it in your email and I’ll tell you if it’s a fit.

Process

How I work

Simple, transparent, and designed to reduce risk.

Step 1

Understand the goal

We align on outcomes, users, constraints, and what “done” looks like.

Step 2

Plan milestones

Break the work into milestones you can review and approve as we go.

Step 3

Build + iterate

Ship in increments, keep quality high, and stay aligned with what users need.

Collaboration

Clear communication, minimal drama

I keep progress visible (PRs, milestones, and written updates). If you already have a process, I’ll fit into it. If you don’t, I’ll propose a lightweight one that keeps things moving.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you work with an existing codebase?

Yes. I can onboard into existing architecture, reduce tech debt strategically, and ship improvements without breaking things.

Do you build SwiftUI or UIKit?

Either. I’ll recommend what best fits your app, timeline, and team—then keep the codebase clean and maintainable.

What do you need from me to start?

A short project summary, your timeline, and any existing assets (requirements, design files, repo, API docs). If you don’t have those yet, we can start with a lightweight discovery call.

Want to build or improve an iOS app?

Email a short description of what you’re building and your timeline. If you’re interested in the “Kevin + mentee” option, mention it and I’ll tell you if it’s a fit.
