Independent software engineer · iPhone apps, backends and AI automation for small teams
I'm a software engineer based on Long Island, NY. I help small teams and businesses build and maintain the software they depend on: native iPhone apps, backend systems, and AI assistants that take repetitive work off people's plates.
I've built 6 iPhone apps end to end, 4 live on the App Store, and I run my own AI assistant every day. See the projects.
What I do
Consulting for teams that need real software without hiring a full engineering team.
Native iPhone apps
From idea to App Store in Swift and SwiftUI, including the backend, App Store submission and review requirements. Good for a business or founder who needs a real app, built properly.
AI assistants and automation
Custom assistants that read, summarize, draft and file things, wired into the chat, notes and calendars your team already uses. I run one myself every day, so I know where they help and where they don't.
Monthly engineering retainer
A set block of hours each month for maintenance, bug fixes, small features, code review and architecture advice, so your software keeps working without adding headcount.
How I work
- A short intro call. You tell me what you need, and we both decide whether I'm the right fit.
- A written scope. A fixed price for a defined project, or a monthly retainer.
- Working builds every week. You see real progress as it happens, not a big reveal at the end.
