Vetted Apple developer in the United States (UTC+9)
Senior iOS Developer with industry experience since 2009. I have worked on dozens of mobile applications and continue to strive for quality in everything I create. I help companies create quality products in the beginning, or turn their already created application into one, that will last the test of time so it doesn’t need to be completely rewritten in a few months. Unlike other developers, I have experience from initial idea, to design, through implementation, and deployment, so I can predict potential problems before they happen to reduce costs. A little more about me, I’ve launched several dozen complex iOS apps. Collectively, they have grown to many millions of active users. My clients include Apple, Time Warner Cable, DaVita, Experian, Charter Communications, and many more. Check below for just a few of the apps I have worked on!

Vetted Apple developer in Spain (UTC+2)
TL;DR I've been programming for more than 40 years, writing software/architecting/managing teams professionally for more than 30 years, and with more than 20 years of that in Silicon Valley. I really love teaching what I've learned over that time. Read on for more info... :) --- Programming is play for me. My passion for it started more than 40 years ago when my best friend brought a computer home from California to the backwoods of Michigan. We didn't realize that you were supposed to buy software for it and it came with a book on the BASIC programming language, so we started creating the software (games of course!) that we wanted to use. Fast forward 10 years to my junior year of college. I was taking computer classes because they were easy A's while I studied other majors, but had never considered a career in computers until laying in bed one night in an empty youth hostel that I had snuck into above the arctic circle in the middle of winter in Narvik, Norway. It was here in the dark and cold that I realized that I enjoyed writing software enough that I might as well switch one of my majors to computer science. So, I returned home and spent the next 13 months working on a computer science degree. I always preferred Apple computers, so several of my classes were independent studies on programming Macinoshes (since my school did not offer Macintosh programming courses). Now I've been writing software, architecting systems, and managing software teams on Apple platforms for more than 30 years. I've worked in small startups to large corporations both as a full-time employee and as a contractor. I have been fortunate enough to win several awards for the software that I've worked on, but this as much a commentary on the quality of teams that I've worked with as on my own abilities. And through it all, even after all of these years, programming is still a passion. And it is still play for me. I love creating software that delights its users.

Ready to hire your ideal Apple developers?
Get startedIn today’s world, most companies have code-based needs that require developers to help build and maintain. For instance, if your business has a website or an app, you’ll need to keep it updated to ensure you continue to provide positive user experiences. At times, you may even need to revamp your website or app. This is where hiring a developer becomes crucial.
Depending on the stage and scale of your product and services, you may need to hire an Apple developer, multiple engineers, or even a full remote developer team to help keep your business running. If you’re a startup or a company running a website, your product will likely grow out of its original skeletal structure. Hiring full-time remote Apple developers can help keep your website up-to-date.

To attract top talent, it's also helpful to list other perks and benefits, such as flexible hours and health coverage.
Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.
Your company description should succinctly outline what makes your company unique to compete with other potential employers. The role summary for your remote Apple developer should be concise and read like an elevator pitch for the position, while the duties and responsibilities should be outlined using bullet points that cover daily activities, tech stacks, tools, and processes used.
