Hire an iOS app developer

Native iOS apps in Swift and SwiftUI — built to ship, tested to last.

I'm Syed Muhammad, a senior mobile engineer with six years of native iOS behind me. I've shipped apps that hundreds of thousands of people open every day: carrier self-care, digital payments, clinical records for physicians, and my own consumer product.

I work remotely with teams and founders anywhere in the world — as a contractor on a defined build, as an extra pair of senior hands on an existing codebase, or full-time for the right product.

What you get

Swift and SwiftUI, done properly

Modern Swift Concurrency, SwiftUI where it earns its place and UIKit where it doesn't, MVVM with clean separation so the codebase still makes sense in year three.

Apps that hold up under load

Offline-first data layers, sensible caching, and instrumentation so you find problems before your users report them. I've maintained apps at multi-million-user scale.

Releases that aren't a gamble

Automated Fastlane pipelines across environments, code signing handled, TestFlight builds on demand, App Store submissions that don't bounce back.

Security where it counts

Secure auth and storage, OAuth flows, and hardening with tools like iXGuard when the app handles money or health data.

How working together goes

  1. A conversation first

    You tell me what you're building and where it's stuck. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.

  2. Scope and a plan

    A written breakdown of what gets built, in what order, and what I need from your side to keep moving.

  3. Ship in slices

    Working builds early and often, on TestFlight, so you're reacting to a real app instead of a status update.

  4. Handover that sticks

    Documented architecture, a release pipeline your team can run, and tests that explain intent.
