About Me

Hi, I'm Dave — an iOS developer building applications that prioritize privacy, intentionality, and a healthier relationship with technology.

I believe our devices should serve us, not the other way around. Too often, software is designed to maximize engagement at the cost of our attention and wellbeing. My work focuses on creating tools that respect your time, protect your privacy, and help you use technology more mindfully.

What I Do

I specialize in Swift and SwiftUI development for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. My projects emphasize:

• Privacy by design — on-device processing, minimal data collection, and transparency
• Thoughtful interfaces — clean, accessible, and distraction-free
• Mindful technology — features that encourage healthy usage patterns

Background

I've been writing Swift since its release and have built apps across consumer, productivity, and wellness categories. I'm passionate about open source and regularly contribute to the Swift community.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me reading, hiking, or experimenting with analog hobbies that don't require a screen.
