I'm Ben Ford, an iOS developer who's been building apps since 2009. By day I work on a large iOS codebase for a major US retailer, shipping features, leading a team, and keeping a massive Swift project moving forward. Before iOS, I spent time in Linux web development and enterprise .NET, which gave me an appreciation for the full stack.
What really drives me is building apps that help people solve problems. The tech is a means to that end.
Lately I've been deep into agentic coding with Claude Code, which has been a game-changer for productivity. Outside of iOS, I dabble in backend development on AWS, and I'm a fan of infrastructure as code, the command line, and living in Neovim with LazyVim inside Kitty.
