HOW WE WORK

You work with the developer, not an account team.

Founder and CTO, Andrew Fox, has been building for iOS since the very beginning.  We take on a small number of clients at a time, so that you get senior attention throughout. ​

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Trusted by the teams we work with.

"I worked with Andrew to deliver an iOS app for one of our clients.  It was a pleasure to work with him and even within the challenging time constraints of the project, Andrew was focused to deliver a quality product, while adopting the latest developments in how to write Swift, and fostering an environment of continuous improvement and iteration amongst the team."

Daniel Chen

Head of Mobile Engineering 

"Andrew has been a real asset to our Agency, always delivering above expectations and to a great level of quality without fail. His attention to detail, pro-activeness, expertise, thirst for knowledge and passion for every topic required, make him a valuable member of any project team.  He is a pleasure to work with."

Karen Gathern, 

IoT Analytics Project Manager 

“I had the pleasure to work directly with Andrew, and he's a brilliant professional (and person) with lots of experience.  He contributed to the project with critical suggestions and improvements to the overall product and codebase.  A valuable asset to have in any team or company and I hope to cross paths again!"

​

Filipe Dias 

Principal iOS Engineer

“Andrew has an extreme depth of knowledge in his development field and has strong attention to detail, both of which are vital qualities when working on the projects we have.  I have found working with Andrew extremely enjoyable, this is due to his ability to be as flexible as possible in booking time, being extremely productive in that time and delivering an extremely high quality end product and service.”
