Work with me
I take iOS, macOS, and watchOS apps from idea to the App Store — and help teams rescue, modernize, and launch the ones they already have.
What I can help you with
Four ways we can work together
10 apps shipped across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. Building with Swift since 2014 — now AI-accelerated, so projects move faster without cutting corners.
New app — idea to App Store
Product thinking, native SwiftUI development, and App Store submission for iOS, macOS, and watchOS. You bring the idea; I handle everything from architecture to the "Ready for Sale" email.
Modernization & rescue
UIKit → SwiftUI migration, performance fixes, latest-OS support, and stuck or inherited projects brought back on track — with code quality that keeps future development easy.
App Store & launch help
Submission, metadata and screenshots, App Review rejections worked to resolution, and launch strategy. I've been through review many times with my own apps.
Advisory & mentorship
1:1 sessions on architecture, code review, debugging, and AI-assisted development workflows for iOS. I've trained 11,000+ students and mentored developers through Upwork.
How we'll work
A clear path from first email to launch
- Tell me about your project. A few lines by email or the form below is enough to start.
- Short scoping call. We clarify goals, constraints, and what "done" looks like. No charge, no obligation.
- Fixed quote. You get a clear scope, timeline, and price — fixed-scope for defined projects, retainer for ongoing work, or a single session for advisory.
- Build, with visibility. Regular updates and working builds via TestFlight — you see progress, not just promises.
- Launch and handover. App Store submission, clean documented code, and everything you need to continue without me.
What clients say
Trusted with real, shipped work
From verified Upwork contracts and LinkedIn recommendations.
It was an excellent overall experience collaborating with Ravi to design, develop and deliver a new iPhone app. Ravi was reliable and easy to communicate with. The code quality will ensure future development and maintainability is not an issue.
Ravi successfully launched our app on the App Store, and helped us build the full ecosystem for our business — customer app, admin app, and web. He is very trustworthy and passionate about developing apps.
Ravi completed the job professionally and promptly. I'm 100% satisfied with the results and would be happy to work together again. Highly recommended!
Ravi is incredibly talented and has been very helpful, explaining everything in detail. I look forward to working with you again in the future.
An extremely capable designer and developer… a clear thinker and communicator who I would always be delighted to have on my team.
FAQ
Common questions
Where are you based, and do you work remotely?
I'm based in Chennai, India, and work remotely with clients worldwide. I've delivered projects for clients across time zones — async updates plus scheduled calls keep everything moving.
What technologies do you use?
Native Apple development: Swift and SwiftUI first, with deep UIKit experience for existing codebases. I use AI-assisted workflows (I build open-source Claude Code tooling for Apple developers) to move faster — but every line that ships is reviewed, tested, and maintainable.
Who owns the code?
You do — full rights to all code and assets on final payment. NDAs are fine.
What does it cost?
Every project gets a fixed quote after a short scoping call, so there are no surprises. Advisory sessions are a simple flat rate.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes — inherited codebases, half-finished projects, and apps whose original developer moved on are a specialty. I'll audit first, then give you an honest assessment before we commit.
