Software architect · I build apps end to end — my own products, and yours.

Founder, software architect and author with 20+ years of engineering experience. I design, build and operate production software end to end: native iOS and macOS (Swift, SwiftUI), cross-platform (Flutter), and high-performance backends (Quarkus on Kubernetes).

I work under DigitalFreedom — the product brand of DigitalFreedom Global LLC — and The App Architect, where I build apps for clients.

Need an app built? Under The App Architect I take your idea from whiteboard to the App Store as a single accountable architect — fixed price, no agency overhead, and you own all the code.
