Senior Engineer. Indie builder. Shipping fast with AI.
Based in Tenerife, Spain. Previously Staff iOS Engineer and Engineering Manager at Bumble Inc.
Now building indie software and writing about the journey.
- SimLease
— Stop your AI agents from fighting over iOS simulators. Leases, task-name window titles, and a menubar board.
- Lean Cam — Minimal camera app for iOS.
I write about AI engineering, indie dev, and what actually works when building solo:
- Building Is the Easy Part Now — AI made shipping trivial. Growth is the real problem.
- I Built 6 Apps in 3 Months — Most went nowhere. One has real users.
- Claude Code Changed How I Ship — 3 months of daily use. Honest review.
