In Development

Kihon & Vivling

Currently building Kihon, a management system for martial arts schools, yoga studios, and gyms (web, Mac, iPhone, iPad), and Vivling, a virtual creature nurturing game targeting Apple Arcade.

Background

Before iOS development, I built a career across academia, research, and business operations.

Academic Foundation

Dual background in physics and sports science, combining analytical thinking with understanding of human performance.

Published Researcher

Conducted research in differential psychology, publishing peer-reviewed papers on cognitive assessment and stereotype accuracy and presenting at international conferences.

Business Operations

Held leadership roles including Lead Instructor, Business Manager, and COO across a 6-location franchise in the martial arts and education industry. Oversaw budgets, led digital transformation initiatives, and managed teams across multiple sites.

Competitive Athlete

Black belt in full-contact knockdown karate with over 100 regional, national, and international competitions. Five-time World Championship competitor with three podium finishes, including two bronze and one silver medal. Also coached athletes to national and international success, developing both individual champions and winning teams.

Apple Ecosystem

Now building apps with Swift for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. My first laptop was a 15" MacBook Pro, and my first smartphone an iPhone 3G. I've been in the Apple ecosystem ever since.

What Drives Me

I believe in creating apps that serve a purpose. Whether it's helping people learn geography, supporting teachers with curriculum tools, or providing a focused Bible reading experience, every app should make life a little bit better.
