Tempe, AZApp development
Native app development, from Tempe.
iOS, Android, and macOS apps for Arizona businesses. Swift, SwiftUI, Kotlin, and cross-platform where it fits. Same person designs, builds, ships, and maintains.
§1· Why work with me
How this shop is different.
- Local team of one
- Based in Tempe. Same person from first call to App Store submission. No subcontractors, no offshore, no handoffs.
- End-to-end
- Design, build, deploy, maintain. The whole stack handled by one operator who knows both the UX side and the engineering side.
- User-centered
- Apps designed around actual user flows, not feature-checklists. Real usability testing before launch.
- Ongoing support
- OS updates, framework churn, App Store rejections — I'm around for all of it, not just the initial build.
§2· Services
What I build.
02
Native Android apps
Kotlin and Jetpack Compose apps built for the platform, not ported as an afterthought.
- Kotlin + Jetpack Compose
- Material 3 design system
- Play Store deployment
03
Cross-platform apps
React Native or Flutter when the job calls for one codebase across iOS, Android, and web.
- Shared business logic
- Platform-specific UI
- Native modules when needed
04
App maintenance
Ongoing updates to keep apps alive as OS versions change, dependencies churn, and stores update their rules.
- OS compatibility updates
- Bug fixes and patches
- Feature iterations after launch
§3· Process
Start to ship.
- 01
Discovery.
Call to understand who uses the app, when, and for what job. Scope locked before any design work starts.
- 02
Planning.
Feature list, technical architecture, platform choice. Written plan with milestones and pricing before anyone signs anything.
- 03
Design.
Figma prototypes, interaction design, and platform-specific considerations (iOS HIG, Material 3). Tested against real scenarios.
- 04
Development.
Built in focused sprints with TestFlight or Play Store internal track access for you throughout. Weekly builds, real feedback.
- 05
Testing.
Device matrix testing, performance profiling, accessibility audit. Beta round with a handful of real users before submission.
- 06
Launch.
App Store and Play Store submission, listing copy, screenshots. Thirty days of post-launch support to handle the inevitable first-week fixes.
