I’ve spent 15+ years developing iOS apps. AI can write the code, but it can’t tell you whether it’s the right code.
Defining the problem, designing the system, weighing tradeoffs, catching what’s subtly wrong and deciding what not to build, is where human engineering judgement matters the most.

With FinanceAI wrapped up, I’m getting back to the areas I enjoy most: media, video, performance, & Apple engineering. I’ve also been working with C++ and image processing on a new project.
I’m open to iOS and macOS contract work. If you’re working on something interesting, I’d be happy to connect.

Good agent UX isn’t about maximum autonomy; it’s about adaptive autonomy.
Sometimes the agent acts on its own.
Sometimes it slows down, explains, or asks for confirmation.
The best agents know when to act and when to ask.
