iOS Engineering meets Financial Acumen

8 years of Swift after 14 years of investment banking. I build production mobile applications and help founders turn ideas into fundable businesses.

Two careers.
One rare perspective.

I spent the first half of my career in corporate and investment banking — leveraged finance, M&A, DCM, and ECM. I managed billion-dollar client portfolios, carried P&L responsibility, and led teams across multiple functions. I reached a senior position before making a deliberate transition into software engineering.

For the past 8 years, I've been building production iOS applications in Swift. I currently lead a team at a major Canadian insurer, where our apps serve over 2 million active users. I also build backend services with Kotlin and Spring Boot.

That combination — deep financial modelling expertise plus hands-on engineering — is what I bring to consulting engagements. Whether you need a staff-level iOS developer, a technical consultant who understands your business model, or someone who can coach you to pitch investors with credibility, I've done all three professionally.
