About

Hi, I’m Wes 👋

I’m an iOS engineer with a passion for crafting exceptional user experiences across the entire Apple ecosystem. With over 8 years of Swift development experience, I specialize in building high-performance applications that seamlessly integrate with Apple’s frameworks and services.

My journey in iOS development has taken me from foundational UIKit applications to cutting-edge SwiftUI interfaces, from traditional iPhone apps to immersive VisionOS experiences. I believe in writing code that not only works beautifully but performs exceptionally – because great user experiences start with great engineering.

What I Do

I’m a senior iOS engineer and published author with a track record of building performance-critical apps across the entire Apple ecosystem — from watchOS to VisionOS to CarPlay — and leading teams to ship fast, reliable, and accessible experiences at scale.

These days, I focus heavily on health, fitness, and aviation apps, architecting SwiftUI-based systems that process millions of HealthKit data points while staying buttery-smooth and battery-efficient. I specialize in making complex interfaces feel intuitive, responsive, and delightful — the kind of code that fades to black (but never crashes).

Here’s where I thrive:

  • iOS & iPadOS: Advanced SwiftUI interfaces with custom animations, accessibility support, and TCA architecture for high-performance, testable codebases.
  • watchOS: Real-time HealthKit integrations, workout tracking, and syncing data seamlessly across devices.
  • visionOS: Building spatial computing experiences using RealityKit and SwiftUI — think 3D interfaces, spatial audio, and gesture-based control.
  • tvOS: Interactive media applications with custom focus engines, top-shelf extensions, and optimized UX for remote navigation.
  • CarPlay: Automotive experiences with Bluetooth integration, Siri voice support, and safety-first UI flows.

I’ve led greenfield rewrites for apps like MLB Ballpark, Nike Sports Science tools, and Frontier’s iOS experience, and I mentor teams in modern Swift practices — from SwiftData and CloudKit sync to Combine, concurrency, and macros.

Whether it’s refactoring legacy code or launching a SwiftUI app from zero to App Store hero, I bring a pragmatic, hands-on approach — always balancing pixel-perfect polish with architectural sanity.

And when the project needs a little extra speed and intensity? I turn the amp to 11 and enter the code that never sleeps.

Technical Philosophy

I’m particularly passionate about SwiftUI performance optimization and have spent considerable time understanding how to build interfaces that remain responsive under heavy data loads. Through my technical writing, I share insights about memory management, layout optimization, and the intricate details of SwiftUI’s rendering system.

My approach to development emphasizes:

  • Performance First: Every feature is built with efficiency in mind
  • Accessibility by Design: Universal access is a core principle, not an afterthought
  • Code Clarity: Clean, maintainable code that tells a story
  • Continuous Learning: Staying current with Apple’s evolving ecosystem

Background

My iOS development expertise has been honed through years of building consumer applications that serve millions of users. I’ve led SwiftUI migrations that reduced codebase complexity while improving performance, implemented complex HealthKit integrations, and built developer tools that help other engineers optimize their applications.

Beyond coding, I’m an active technical writer with 40+ published articles covering advanced iOS development topics. From deep dives into SwiftUI’s diffing engine to practical guides for VisionOS development, I enjoy sharing knowledge that helps other developers push the boundaries of what’s possible on Apple platforms.

When I’m Not Coding

When I step away from Xcode, you’ll find me exploring the intersection of technology and creativity. I’m fascinated by how great design and engineering come together to create experiences that feel magical. I also enjoy staying active – probably because I spend so much time building fitness applications that I can’t help but use them!
