Last position:
Developer at agentic-engineer.online
agentic-engineer.online is my publicly testable live demo and at the same time the platform where I show my work. Originally created as a recruitment trial task, I have since continued to run it as my own demo, learning, and product project — on a Hetzner VPS behind a Cloudflare tunnel, through a multi-stage AI-orchestrated deploy pipeline with snapshot rollback. If a deploy step breaks, the system falls back to the last clean snapshot, the script is adjusted, the test repeated — empirical, test-driven, without hand tuning.
- Technically behind it: Python and FastAPI, an OpenRouter model cascade, SQLite persistence, and Cloudflare edge tuning.
- I am the developer and the strictest customer of my own AI work in one person — what started as a prototype has become a tool I use every day and against which I test my own products.

About the technology
Swift at a glance
Swift is Apple’s modern programming language for building applications across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. It combines strong type safety, readable syntax and memory management with tools for responsive, reliable products. Swift can also support server-side services and shared business logic.
Apple products
Swift specialists deliver complete applications and focused product features, from interface flows to background processing. Typical work includes:
- Native iOS and iPadOS applications
- macOS utilities and desktop products
- watchOS and tvOS experiences
- Shared packages for Apple platforms
- Server-side services using Swift
Frameworks and tooling
The ecosystem includes SwiftUI for declarative interfaces and UIKit for established iOS experiences. Strong professionals work with Foundation, Combine, Core Data, Core ML, MapKit, StoreKit and CloudKit when a product needs those capabilities. They also use Xcode, Swift Package Manager, XCTest, Instruments and continuous integration workflows.
When expertise matters
Companies bring in freelance Swift expertise when an Apple product needs a new release, a careful modernization or a stable foundation for growth. Specialist support is useful when a team is moving from UIKit to SwiftUI, improving performance, integrating device features or preparing an application for App Store review.
- Rebuild legacy interfaces with maintainable Swift code
- Connect apps to REST or GraphQL services
- Add payments, maps, notifications or media features
- Diagnose crashes, slow launches and battery use
Adjacent skills
Swift work often meets product design, mobile security, backend integration and release operations. Professionals may also bring experience with Objective-C, C++, Kotlin, JavaScript or cross-platform tools when an existing application spans several technologies. Knowledge of accessibility, localization, privacy controls and Apple platform guidelines supports a production-ready result.
Choosing a specialist
Look for evidence of shipped Apple applications with a scope close to your product, not only familiarity with language syntax. A strong professional explains architecture choices, testing strategy, data flow and release risks in clear terms. Ask how they handle offline behavior, concurrency, accessibility, observability and long-term maintenance, then review the quality of their technical decisions and communication.
Frequently asked questions
The facts hiring teams ask for most often when it comes to Swift.
Swift is used mainly for native applications on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. It also supports shared packages, command-line tools and server-side services where a team wants Apple’s language and ecosystem beyond the device interface.
Swift offers a more modern syntax, stronger safety features and better support for contemporary Apple frameworks than Objective-C. Objective-C still matters in established codebases, so a specialist who can bridge both languages is valuable during migrations and maintenance.
Swift projects can use SwiftUI, UIKit or both. SwiftUI is well suited to new declarative interfaces and shared UI patterns, while UIKit remains important for mature applications, detailed control and existing components. The right choice depends on the product’s deployment needs and codebase.
A strong Swift specialist often understands REST or GraphQL integration, local persistence, testing, accessibility and App Store release workflows. Experience with Objective-C, Apple security APIs, CI pipelines and backend collaboration can also reduce delivery risk.
The required Swift experience depends on the product’s risk and scope rather than a fixed tenure. A small feature may suit a professional who has delivered similar components, while a regulated, offline-first or performance-sensitive application calls for deeper architecture, testing and release experience.
Swift work is often well suited to remote collaboration because source control, design files, simulators and device testing can be coordinated online. Teams should agree on access to Apple accounts and test devices, review practices, time-zone overlap and how physical hardware issues will be handled.
Review how the Swift professional structures state, concurrency, errors, tests and dependencies. Ask for a walkthrough of architecture decisions and look for readable code, meaningful tests, sensible use of SwiftUI or UIKit, accessibility awareness and a clear plan for monitoring and maintenance.
Swift can be introduced gradually into an Objective-C application through Apple’s interoperability features. A specialist should assess module boundaries, bridging headers, dependency risks and build settings before moving selected components, rather than treating a full rewrite as the default solution.
The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used Swift in their recent projects is 91 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 728 € based on an 8-hour working day.
