Summary

I have been working in iOS development for almost 12 years now.

As more clients focus on monetizing their apps, I was able to gain especially expert knowledge in Apple In-App Purchase over the past years.

At the start of 2023, I began a new chapter in my professional career and have since been working as a self-employed iOS developer on the implementation of exciting projects. I see great potential in the digitization of business processes in the future; especially SMEs can benefit from simplifying outdated and inefficient processes.
