Mobile System Design

By the author of the Mobile System Design and Swift in Depth books

Ship faster without rewrites

If your mobile app slows down as the team grows… I help you fix architecture and flow so you can deliver quickly again.

Led the scaling of a major bank's iOS app from a monolith to a modular architecture supporting 60+ developers

  • Fix architecture debt without stopping feature development
  • Align iOS and Android teams for consistent delivery
  • Build systems that scale with your team growth

Sound familiar?

You might be dealing with...

  • Slow feature releases due to architecture decisions from 2 years ago
  • iOS and Android drift creating inconsistent user experiences
  • Struggling to have teams work in isolation
  • Pressure to deliver from leadership, yet held back by the codebase
  • Scaling cracks appearing in your mobile architecture
  • Struggling to adapt to new requirements

Teams bring me in when...

  • A big change needs speed without regressions
  • They're debating a rewrite vs. architectural fixes
  • Figuring out strong modular architectures
  • Want to improve their way of working

Experience that matters

With 15+ years of mobile experience including Staff Engineer at Twitter and iOS Tech Lead at ING Bank, I understand the challenges of scaling mobile architecture in high-stakes environments.

Mobile Architecture Audit

Sometimes you need an outside perspective to see what's really holding your team back. I'll dive deep into your codebase, talk with your engineers, and give you a clear roadmap to get unstuck. Perfect when you're debating a rewrite or need to convince leadership that architectural changes are worth the investment.
