Principal iOS Developer · Architect & Owner @ Mt. Aden LLC
I build clean, reliable, scalable iOS apps in Swift & SwiftUI.
18+ years shipping software · 14+ years deep in Apple platforms (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch).
If you’re building on Apple platforms — or learning how AI fits into real engineering work — here’s what you’ll find here:
- Ship better iOS apps — architecture, SwiftUI, and hard-won lessons from years of product work
- Level up with AI as a craft — try AI Coach to practice prompts, spot anti-patterns, and improve agent workflows
- Reuse what already works — open-source controls, samples, and small tools you can drop into your own projects
- Learn in public with me — Medium write-ups and Worth Knowing TV for practical walkthroughs
- Go multi-platform when you’re ready — iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Watch patterns that travel with you
AI Coach — macOS desktop app wrapping Microsoft’s AI Engineering Coach.
- Track practice scores, weekly trends, and daily activity
- Detect anti-patterns across prompt quality, session hygiene, code review, and tool mastery
- Measure AI-generated code output by language, workspace, model, and harness
- Discover repeated prompts and turn them into reusable skills
- Score context health with agentic readiness and workspace context maps
