About

CheekyGhost Labs is currently a moniker for the indie company I want to start and contribute to. I have always wanted to maintain a blog, provide technical write ups, and generally keep any open source work available and well discussed. It also keeps the door open for other developers to join in and contribute with blogging, write-ups, or to discuss their own ideas.

I am a QLD based iOS and macOS engineer, however my background is in interaction and experience design. I have been involved professionally with iOS and macOS since late 2008, and for most of my career I have been in a Senior Engineering or Technical Lead role. I have loved seeing the platform evolve over time. I have a strong background in high level architecture, application development, and modular deliverables. Specifically, I often focus on designing CLEAN driven architectures that can be maintained and scaled as a project evolves.

I want this site, and discussions within, to try to focus on the "why". The "why" we do something comes from the design background, and it is something that is often overlooked today. I have worked for many companies that have such a good understanding on why they started something, but slowly it gets lost as the business side takes over. I'd like my own projects to be driven from the "why", and if it happens to result in an application, a library, or a physical product, then so be it.

I am currently working a full time position, however, I am always eager to provide discussion and advice if you want to fast-track a project, or just need help figuring out how to get started.

I love hearing from others in the industry, and am always up for a chat.
