What I'm building, and what I've shipped.

End-to-end iOS — from the first Xcode project to the App Store listing. Here's what I'm working on now, plus highlights from a decade of releases.

Now — building solo·Live · App Store

iRunning

Interval running for Apple Watch. Build a workout, run it from your wrist, and review the route afterward. Watch-first, with no subscription wall.

  • GPS route smoothing with a Kalman filter and Douglas–Peucker simplification, so wrist traces stay clean.
  • Real-time heart rate streamed from the watch to the phone during a live session.
  • One-tap Strava export over OAuth 2.0.

About

I'm a senior iOS engineer based near Warsaw, with 10+ years building for the platform and 15+ years in software overall. I've shipped 50+ apps to the App Store — from straightforward REST clients to geolocation and AR — for startups and mid-size companies.

Along the way I led an iOS team, owned architecture, mentored junior developers, and worked directly with international clients. When a product needed it, I went full-stack — building backends in PHP and Python on Firebase.

These days I build and ship my own products, like iRunning, and stay close to the parts beyond the code — App Store optimization, growth, and the craft of a release people actually keep. I work across English, Polish and Russian.
