Dan Kurman · Mobile app development
A mobile product needs more than finished screens. Accounts, data, payments, notifications, and release work have to fit together. I help founders and product teams build a first version, extend an existing app, and keep it moving after launch. Native iOS with Swift is my deepest specialization, with broader delivery across mobile and the systems behind it.
I turn product requirements and designs into complete user journeys. We define the essential flows, what can wait, and the acceptance checks before implementation. Native iOS is my strongest starting point; when Android or another stack is needed, I assess the existing product and the work required.
I connect UI, authentication, backend services, REST APIs, payments, notifications, and analytics. That includes the less visible work: keeping app and server state consistent, handling interrupted requests, and making failures understandable to the user.
I handle testing, release preparation, TestFlight feedback, and App Store delivery work. After launch, I can investigate production issues, improve core flows, and build the next features with the existing product and users in mind.
Bring the current app or designs, the main user journey, and your launch constraints. I first map what exists across mobile and backend, identify dependencies, and agree on a bounded release. You get working increments with clear validation and handoff, whether I am building the product with you or joining your team.
Native iOS, Android, and Firebase
Built guide tracking across two native apps and a Firebase backend, including background location, map layers, and late-back alerts.
Marketplace launch and follow-on work
Stabilized an inherited iOS/PHP marketplace, rebuilt checkout, and supported the public launch and order fulfillment.
A focused product from design to release
Implemented a SwiftUI journaling app from Figma with a one-time StoreKit unlock, TestFlight QA, and App Store release support.
