From greenfield architecture through launch, scale, and iteration — owned end-to-end by a senior who has done it before.
Senior engineering across the full software development lifecycle. Engagements scoped hourly, retainer, or fixed-scope sprint.
From whiteboard to first deploy. iOS app, Rails API, React frontend, CI/CD, and the glue between them — designed once, built right, owned end-to-end.
App Store submissions, production rollouts, observability, the unglamorous launch checklist that separates "demo" from "in customers’ hands."
Performance work, refactors that pay down debt without halting the roadmap, feature instrumentation, and coaching the team that takes it over.
Most consultants optimize code.
iColasoft optimizes the system humans operate within
— so performance improves because the environment does.
Less mental overhead. More reliable systems. Sustainable velocity.
Senior contributor — reliability & observability
Joined an established Rails 7 production team to absorb error-quota and observability burden so feature engineers could keep shipping. Reduced Rollbar noise without losing real signal; classified transient vs. permanent failures so on-call stops chasing ghosts; supported Stripe payment integrity end-to-end.

Solo owner — full lifecycle iOS
9.5 years of continuous evolution. Sole engineer across paywall, IAP, subscriptions, multi-locale launch (9 markets), Fastlane code-signing automation, Firebase Crashlytics. v2.0 currently shipping. The kind of long-term product stewardship only possible when the same person owns architecture, build, ship, and iterate.

Solo owner — game tech across a decade
8.5-year solo iOS word game on the App Store. Three full rewrites as Apple’s frameworks evolved. SpriteKit + SceneKit, GameCenter scorekeeping, Firebase analytics, Fastlane CI. Currently active — most recent ship was a delight-gated review-prompt service this week.
