CoastCast
A SwiftUI weather app that pulls live NWS data for Michigan beaches, with search, favorites, and real-time alerts.
I'm an iOS developer from Detroit. I build apps that ship - AI tools, games, and civic tech that solves real problems for real people.
Production-focused iOS work with measurable outcomes.
I'm a Swift and SwiftUI developer finishing at the Apple Developer Academy in Detroit, with two apps on the App Store and a co-founded studio with a paying client.
My work ranges from a CoreML-powered beach conditions app to an on-device AI flashcard tool built for real student workflows. I care about clean architecture, thoughtful UX, and using Apple’s frameworks the way they were intended.
Detroit shapes how I build. It pushes you toward things that are real and useful, not just polished demos. That carries into everything I ship.
When I’m not coding I’m gaming, cooking, hitting the gym, or finding a new spot along the Riverwalk.
