I am the owner of SharkMonkey Apps, a software development agency specializing in native iOS, cross-platform mobile, and full-stack web apps.

I am a software developer with experience on a wide variety of projects, from brand new apps to maintenance and updates to large older codebases. I specialize in iOS app development, and have full-stack web experience as well. I can build an MVP for a startup, custom software for business, or work on an existing project.

I am based in Denver, Colorado, USA, and available to work remote. I have experience with Swift, Objective-C, Ruby on Rails, React, JavaScript, AWS and other languages and frameworks. I'd be glad to discuss what you'd like to accomplish—find me on LinkedIn or GitHub.
