ABOUT ME
Multi-disciplinarian with over 30 years of experience in mobile, PHP, and SQL
Multi-disciplinarian with over 30 years of experience in mobile, PHP, and SQL
I have been a developer for over 30 years and have been a mobile developer for over 10 of those years. During that time, I've developed over 90 iOS apps, around 10 macOS apps, and quite a few Android apps too - some were personal apps while close to half of that were apps for various clients.
I’ve also been a technical editor, final pass editor, and finally, for a brief period, the editor-in-chief at raywenderlich.com, the popular online site devoted to mobile and game development. I did a lot of work on their tutorials and so know a little bit about helping people to understand a topic :)
I try to help people understand developing for a given language and try to show you why you should do something a certain way. Along the way, I also try to provide little tips and tricks which make your work in a particular development environment (like Xcode) much easier. And I have no problems at all with questions - the more questions you have, the more you'll learn and I'll answer any (and every) question you may have!
I also tend to be very good at debugging code issues - even if the issue is in code written by others. I can dive into somebody else's code and quickly find the root cause of a bug. So, if you are stuck on a bug which has stumped you for several hours, I believe I can help.

I started development in Swift immediately after Apple announced Swift at WWDC 2014 and I had my first open source Swift framework out within a couple of weeks. I have developed close to 20 apps in Swfit for iOS and macOS.

I started Objective-C development as a mobile developer but have since then moved on to develop macOS apps as well. I was the sole developer on the HuffingtonPost iPad app (back when there were two separate apps) using Objective-C and I developed and supported the app for over a year through two consecutive versions of the app.

I used to do a lot of PHP development for clients. These days, I mostly develop REST APIs needed by mobile clients so that the mobile apps I develop can either communicate with a server to fetch data or to provide multi-user functionality. When I used to develop in PHP extensively, I also used to do a fair amount of WordPres development and even had a WordPress plugin which was pretty popular in its day.

I have used CVS, Subversion, and Mercurial in the past but I have been using Git for most of the time that I've been a mobile developer. I won't call myself a power-user since I hardly ever user Git from the command-line. Rather, I prefer to use Git using a visual Git client such as SourceTree or Git Tower. I am familiar with the basic commandline Git functions though and do know enough to figure out the rest if necessary :)

I have managed projects at various employers for quite a bit of the time I worked for others. Since I started freelancing around 13 years ago, I have managed multiple projects, estimated time, and balanced workload using various software tools including Jira and Trello. I have even written a few project/time management tools over the years to meet my own requirements.

I learnt how to code in dBaseIII+ back in the early '90s by debugging other people's code :) I have been deubgging code (both my own and other people's) ever since then. I enjoy figuring out why something does not work correctly and am good at pinpointing the root cause of an issue. If you give me access to the source code, a good IDE with debugging capabilities, and access to good documentation, I can guarantee that I'll figure out most issues.

Fahim was excellent. Fixed my problem with a better approach to the solution than I had come up with. He's now working on additional code for me. Brilliant!
