About
I'm a software engineer, six years deep in Swift and mobile development, working as a freelancer.
I've been building iOS apps since 2020. So long enough that I remember times before LLMs and SwiftUI, but short enough that I can see the new and the old compete for our attention: new, shiny tools and frameworks competing in legacy codebases or new hybrids (KMP). I started in Finance (Banking), worked at a software house, did some startup work and then got back to product. This is where I feel best, getting something out, to a high standard and with user satisfaction in mind.
Freelance work
I work as a freelancer. In practice that means one of three things: starting an app from an empty Xcode project, joining a team that needs another pair of experienced hands, or going into a codebase that has stopped being pleasant to work in and making it pleasant again.
If that sounds like something you need, email is the fastest way to reach me.
This site
verticalcoding is my personal site. I put different things out there: Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, development in general. But I do also like to talk a bit of philosophy, maybe not in the Greek Stoic way but in the general life and software way. I love side quests; I think those are the main fun in life, so don't mind me sometimes writing about something totally outside of my bubble. I think we people should explore and experience a lot of things; this makes us who we are.
