macOS and iOS developer focussed on building well-behaved native apps for Apple platforms. Actively building and maintaining personal projects whilst staying up-to-date with the latest in Swift, Apple frameworks and industry trends.

Recently released Oliphaunt, a native macOS Mastodon client:

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6745527185

https://github.com/anosidium/Oliphaunt-App

Also built HacKit, a macOS Hacker News reader available on the App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/app/id1549557075

Both apps focus on performance, simplicity and strong adherence to macOS design conventions.

Open to freelance or full-time roles. Particularly interested in working on meaningful software that makes a positive impact — whether as part of a small, focussed team or a larger organisation with a clear and thoughtful product vision.

Thanks for the crash report! It's the first time I have ever received it on GitHub gist. I expect it to appear in Xcode Organiser.

Could you please tell me about your desktop environment? Which macOS OS are you using?
