Vikram C.
Senior iOS Developer & Team Lead | Swift, SwiftUI | iPhone, Watch, Mac
I build and maintain native iOS apps in Swift, SwiftUI and UIKit, from the first build through App Store release and ongoing support after launch. I was the lead mobile developer on Fit2Flaunt, a subscription fitness app with 100K+ downloads. What a recent client wrote after an 86-hour contract: "He is able to work in a self-directed manner and has discovered and fixed more issues than were assigned. He clearly has a sense of ownership and pride in his work. The code he produces rarely has to be revisited and often goes beyond a simple fix and implements a better, more rounded solution than originally envisioned. His daily updates are informative and well summarized to provide clear action reports." The same client then moved me to a longer contract and I delivered 667 more hours of mobile app lifecycle support. What I do: • New iOS apps and MVPs: SwiftUI or UIKit, MVVM / Clean Architecture • Ongoing maintenance: bug fixes, iOS version updates, crash fixes and performance work • App Store: submission, in-app purchases and subscriptions • Integrations: Firebase, REST APIs, push notifications, maps and live location, user authentication • Apple platforms: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and macOS Recent work: • Fit2Flaunt (100K+ downloads): lead mobile developer on a subscription dance-workout app with video classes, workout plans, progress tracking, rewards and an in-app community • Group trip live-location app: Swift, Firebase and maps, sharing a group's live location with a trusted person • my e-biz: e-commerce app that helps shopkeepers sell online (Swift, UIKit, REST API) How I work: daily written updates, small reviewable changes, and an agreed scope before I start. I've worked in Swift since 2017 and have led the iOS team at VGD Technologies since 2019, so I can bring in backend or Android developers when a project needs them. Send me your app idea or your current problem (crashes, an App Store rejection, a stalled build), and I'll reply with a short plan and estimate.
