iOS Engineering
meets Financial Acumen

I'm Eduardo Meira — a Staff iOS Developer and Tech Lead with 8 years of Swift and 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.

How I can help

⟨/⟩

iOS Development

Production-grade iOS applications built with modern Swift. From greenfield projects to rescuing existing codebases, I bring senior-level architecture, performance optimization, and the engineering rigor of large-scale app development.

Business & Financial Consulting

I help founders move from idea to executable business. Feasibility analysis, financial modelling with defensible assumptions, market sizing, and business model design — informed by 14 years of working with real capital markets.

Pitch Coaching

Practical, hands-on training to sharpen how you communicate with investors, clients, and partners. I've trained over 300 professionals in presentations and public speaking. I know what investors actually look for — because I've been on that side of the table.
