Alessandro Lamparelli

What I do

I ship iOS and macOS apps end to end, from spec to App Store. SwiftUI, SwiftData, CloudKit, in-app purchases, API integrations, post-launch maintenance.

Useful for

- Solo founders launching their first iOS app

- Early-stage startups needing their only mobile person

- Established teams launching a side product or innovation MVP

- Indie app owners looking for a refresh, new features, or stack migration

Not the right fit if you need

If you're looking for someone to take over a 100k-line Swift codebase, lead a five-person mobile team, or do low-level Swift performance work, I'm not your profile. I'm a solo product builder, not a senior Swift engineer in the traditional sense. I'd rather lose a project than misrepresent that.

Where my value comes from

Fifteen years in IT operations before going solo. First line support at Econocom BeLux up to 3rd line engineer, then Knowledge Manager and Incident Manager. Service Manager at CIRB (Brussels regional IT). IT Service & Operations Manager at Euroclear. ITIL 4 Managing Professional certified.

In practice : I speak to your business teams as fluently as to your developers, I understand your organizational constraints before you have to explain them, and I integrate into existing processes without friction. An operational maturity that's rare in the "solo iOS builder" profile.
