Senior iOS engineer with 29+ years building software and 15+ years focused on iOS. I build apps for environments where reliability isn't optional — from a financial app trusted by millions of investors daily to a classified platform covered by Wired.
Led iOS development on the mobile financial app for one of America's largest financial services firms. Drove major architectural improvements supporting external account linking, real-time messaging, and enhanced security — while maintaining rock-solid reliability for financial operations.
Built a secure, enterprise-grade app distribution platform for the U.S. Intelligence Community and Department of Defense — delivering 130+ mission-critical apps across iOS, Android, desktop, and web to personnel operating at multiple security classification levels. Role-based segmentation ensures a helicopter pilot and an Army tactical operator each see only the apps their mission and clearance allow. Every app undergoes mandatory source code review — a security standard commercial platforms can't match. Also selected by Microsoft to perform an independent iOS security audit for a major financial-sector merger.
My legal middle name is Danger. Not a nickname. Yes, there's a story — but that one's for the interview.
I've been writing software professionally for 29 years — more than 15 of those on iOS. I've led the mobile team on a financial app trusted by 100,000+ people daily, built a classified app distribution platform for the U.S. Intelligence Community, and shipped a situational awareness tool used by military and first responders in environments with zero margin for downtime. When Wired covered our work, it wasn't because it was flashy. It was because it mattered.
I think about the edge cases before I think about the happy path. That's what years in financial compliance and intelligence work will do — you learn that "it works on my machine" isn't a shipping standard. I write tests first, I sweat accessibility, and I architect for the thing that hasn't gone wrong yet.
I've mentored junior devs, driven architectural decisions on large teams, and I'm the person people pull into the room when something's broken and nobody knows why. I lead by making the people around me better — and by shipping the things that scare other teams.
Outside of work, I'm building AR experiments, training ML models, wiring up Raspberry Pis, and 3D printing things that probably don't need to exist. I don't stop building when I clock out. I just build weirder things.
"Absolutely a phenomenal iOS Developer with very deep knowledge of iOS frameworks, Swift, and Objective-C."
"Exceptional debugging skills and calm, methodical approach to solving complex issues. A fearless leader within our iOS team."
"Purpose driven leader who helps purpose driven people on their career path, building tools and technologies that serve the product."
"We were brought in to rescue a project that was only five weeks from deadline, but months from completion. We got the project done essentially on time, surpassing expectations."
"Brent has been an amazing addition to NJVC. His experience in web and software development lifecycle is bar none and he is focused on the success of the company. Highly recommended!"


If you're building something that needs to be done right — not just done fast — I'd love to hear about it. I'm currently available for iOS work and consulting.
