ABOUT ME
Senior iOS Developer
Senior iOS Developer
I've been in mobile since Apple's premier handheld was the Newton. I've worked on top grossing iOS apps, and consulted with companies large and small, from Fortune 500 to startups.
I'm a big believer in SwiftUI, and all new projects I start are using it. I used (and loved) UIKit for a decade, but the writing's on the wall on this one.

I've been working with Swift since the day it was announced, and it's been my primary development language for over five years. I've been writing Objective C code for nearly twenty years, and think it's a great language, but Swift is much more expressive and fun for me.

I've been working with SwiftUI since its introduction. I've released several applications using it. I've also been working with the new additions announced at WWDC20, and getting up to speed with them.

I've been working on macOS since OS X 10.0, and iOS since before the iPhone SDK was announced. I've written dozens of apps, tools, and libraries in Objective-C, and consider it one of Apple's greatest strengths. Objective-C is a flexible, dynamic tool that lets you get the most out of iOS and macOS.

I've been working on apps for iOS since before the SDK was released in 2008. I've had apps on the store since day 1 (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crosswords/id688876601?mt=8, among others), and have worked on several dozen large iOS apps. I love the freedom that mobile offers, and the ability to convert a blank sheet of glass into almost anything.

Ben is fantastic! His knowledge and experience are evident in how quickly he is able to recognize issues and understand the code you are working with. He also takes the time to understand to the project's goal and to listen to where you are coming from. All of this along with his great attitude make it easy to work together and to get you going in the direction you want to go.

Ben immediately saw major flaws in my code-design and prevented me from shooting myself in my foot. In addition, he gave me examples to help get my code in a much better paradigm. I eagerly look forward to our next sesssion :)
