My Approach

I'm not here to tell you what to do. I'm here to:

  • Challenge your assumptions with kindness

  • Share what I've seen work (and fail) elsewhere

  • Question to help you find your own answers

  • Transfer knowledge so you no longer need me

“The best coaching is the one that makes you autonomous.”
— Wlad, Tech Lead @ Atelier Socle

Areas of Expertise

The domains where I can bring you the most value:

  • SwiftUI — from iOS 13 to iOS 26, I've explored it all

  • Architecture — MVVM, TCA, Clean, and knowing when NOT to use them

  • Modern Swift — Concurrency, Macros, Swift 6 strict

  • Modularization — SPM, monorepo, micro-features

  • Testing — pragmatic strategies, not dogmatic

  • Performance — knowing when to optimize (and when not to)

  • Apple Ecosystem — iOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS

To be clear...

This service is your technical sparring partner. Someone who knows the Apple ecosystem inside out, has seen dozens of projects, and can save you weeks of trial and error.

Frequently Asked Questions

"What if we also need development work?"

No problem — we can combine with the Apple Applications service. But coaching remains separate: you benefit from a fresh, external perspective, and that's the whole value of having eyes that aren't in your code every day.

"Is it compatible with a remote team?"

100%. All formats work via video call. I also travel if needed (France, Europe).

"How much does it cost?"

It depends on the format. We discuss it during the first call.
