I'm a software developer currently based in Chicago, IL. I have a passion for startups and building large-scale technical products.
As a developer, my expertise lie with using Objective-C to create iOS applications, which has been my main focus for the past 5 years. In these years I've amassed experience with frameworks such as Foundation, UIKit, QuartzCore, CoreLocation, the Facebook SDK and CFNetwork (just to name a few). I've also gained a strong familiarity with the Apple Developer Tools: Xcode, Instruments and the iOS Simulator.
My ambitious mentality has allowed me to constantly push myself, take on new challenges and achieve more than I ever thought possible.
Co-founder & CTO @ MobileX Labs is a startup bringing application development to the masses. We provide a platform which enables anyone to create a beautiful, functional mobile application for a fraction of the price of hiring a developer. Our platform is simple to use (no coding required), produces highly customisable native applications, and is incredibly affordable.
As CTO I oversee and direct the technical development of the company. I'm also involved in the day-to-day engineering operations, providing technical know-how to project managers whenever I can.
