How long have you been working with apps?

Over 15 years — including publishing, consulting, and developing apps for clients around the world.

What experience sets you apart from other developers?

Before founding AppSwage, I was an IT executive at global companies like Activision Blizzard (Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Guitar Hero). I bring both technical depth and executive-level insight into budgets, timelines, and strategy.

Can you offer guidance on an existing project?

Yes. I regularly assist clients with existing apps that need technical, strategic, or App Store support. Whether you're facing a stalled build or struggling with Apple approvals, I can help diagnose and resolve the problem.

I am totally new to apps and have no idea where to start. Can you help?

Absolutely. Many of my clients start with no technical background. I'll guide you through the process step by step so you can make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

1-HOUR MOBILE APP CONSULTATION

Talk through your project.

Tailored advice. No upsell. Practical next steps. A 60-minute working session with a senior iOS developer who'll give you an honest read on where you are and what to do next.

A project timeline with stages labeled Idea, Discovery, Plan, Build, and Launch, highlighting the Discovery stage.

The consultation lives at the Discovery stage — before you've committed to a developer, a platform, or a path.

WHAT WE'LL COVER

An hour, focused on you.

Screenshot of a document with four main topics and a bonus section, discussing how mobile development works, AI strategy, app store monetization, hiring developers, and a build-it-right guide. Each topic has a brief description, with the bonus section highlighted in red.

NO PITCH, NO UPSELL

This isn't a sales call.

If hiring me makes sense for your project, we can talk about that. But the honest answer is often that it doesn't — you might be better off hiring locally, building cross-platform, or holding off entirely. You'll get my real read either way. The consultation is the product, not a disguised sales meeting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Common questions.

Fifteen-plus years building native iOS apps, with 150+ clients on everything from small MVPs to products used by tens of millions. Before that, a decade-plus in VP-level IT and business leadership at Activision Blizzard, Vertafore, and Adaptive Biotechnologies. The combination matters — I think about apps as products and businesses, not just code.
Most senior iOS developers came up through engineering. I came up through enterprise IT and spent more than a decade in VP-level leadership at companies like Activision Blizzard, Vertafore, and Adaptive Biotechnologies before returning to hands-on development full-time. So the consultation isn't just code judgment — it's product strategy, monetization, App Store experience, and an honest read on whether an app is even the right move for your situation. Most apps don't fail for technical reasons.
Yes — it's one of the most common reasons people book. Whether you're stalled mid-build, working with a developer you're not sure you trust, or trying to evaluate AI-generated code before you ship it, the consultation is built for that. Bring code, screenshots, contracts, anything you want to talk through. We'll work with what you have.
Yes — and this is the ideal time to talk. Most of the costly mistakes in app development happen in the first few weeks, before any code gets written: the wrong platform, the wrong contract, the wrong developer, an unrealistic timeline. An hour at this stage saves money, time, and frustration later. You don't need to have all the answers right now. Identifying your blind spots and mapping out the right path is exactly why we meet. That's the point.
