Consulting
Ways we can work together
- 01
Development
I can help bring your ideas to life, whether it’s crafting a new app from concept to App Store or delivering that one feature to satisfy your stakeholders. With experience working solo or as part of large agile teams, I’ve got you covered.
- 02
Reviews of Code & Architecture
A thorough code review can uncover hidden bugs, code smells and potential dangers in your codebase. I will enable your team to improve the code quality by highlighting these issues. Architecture reviews will unveil technical debt that builds up over time and slows down future development.
- 03
Individual & Team Coaching
I coach topics like advanced Swift, SwiftUI, SwiftData, iOS development in general, best practices, architecture, testing, agile processes and developer productivity. This enables you and your team to become better developers and engineers.
- 04
Process Automation
Shipping software typically involves repetitive manual steps. I can help you automate these tasks, allowing your team to focus on what they do best: developing an amazing product.
- 05
Team Bootstrapping
Need help staffing your internal team? With years of experience in various environments, team setups, and agile processes, I can help you find the right candidates and build your team.

Testimonials
Hear it from my happy clients
I had an unforgettable time working with Ben at tado° Core App team. I find Ben to be an expert on iOS platform. He knows the ins and outs of it. I can completely put my trust in him. He plays the long term game without losing sight of the short term goals. What is unique about Ben is that he has a great motivation and a strong sense of ownership of what he does, even as a freelancer. As a person, Ben is a very likable and positive person. I would not hesitate to hire Ben again on any iOS project. He can set any team for winning.
Ben has a professional attitude; he is dedicated and meticulous in his work, and reliable in his response to professional requests. He is also very pleasant personally, and he bonded very well with the other team members in my group. He has my highest respect as a professional iOS software engineer. From conceptual design / UX to implementation Ben oversees the complete product development cycle to build apps people love to use. In short he is a delightful member to have in one’s team!
Ben really helped us refactoring our flagship app together with a team of eight to make further development easier and faster. He was very helpful to both the junior and senior staff, explaining and reviewing code and writing many of our new modules. He is a very kind person who can explain himself well to both technical and business colleagues.
In the beginning of our project Ben not only helped us ramping up our iOS team but with his keen sense for clean code and architecture supported the shaping of our engineering practices. In later phases of the engagement he was instrumental in delivering our features to our customers. During his tenure at IconicFinance he drove a lot of tech advancement for the iOS client and kept discussion with all departments open. I can recommend Ben for any phase of a project.
Ben is the kind of guy who makes every team more vivid. I have great regards for his superb awareness, his passion for detail and collegial discussions on the highest level. His commitment to find the best possible solutions for both users and employers in addition to his professionalism ensure projects to be highly successful.
