I love solving problems through application development, from ideation to launching and iteration. If you have a problem, I'll help you develop ideas to solve it. If you have an idea, I can quickly prototype a system to implement it. If you have a system, I can help improve and fix issues in it.
As (former) CTO of Insync (https://insynchq.com/), I became proficient in many technologies (e.g. Python, SQL/NoSQL Databases, macOS & Windows APIs, JavaScript, Web/Cloud APIs, Networking, HTML/CSS, Linux) and different aspects of software engineering (e.g. Architecture & Design, DevOps, Security, Training, People Management). As its co-founder, I had great experience in product development and cultivating company culture.
I built a solid foundation by having fun doing sport programming, which made me fluent in data structures & algorithms, and joining hackathons, which exposed me to new paradigms & problem domains. I've won (or placed) in plenty of competitions along the way (see my website for details).
Hit me up at marte [at] talaksan [dot] com if you have problems to solve!
Skills:
– iOS & iPadOS Swift/SwiftUI Development
– Augmented Reality Development (ARKit, SceneKit, RealityKit, Metal, Vision, LiDAR scene reconstruction, hand and finger-recognition AR controls, world tracking, body tracking, face tracking, image saliency analysis, Speech, shaders)
– Growth
I specialize in developing augmented reality iOS apps. Several of my apps were handpicked and featured worldwide by Apple. I developed an iOS open-source WebXR browser with Mozilla. An AR startup I consulted for had their app demoed by Tim Cook on HBO's Axios show. I've built augmented reality, ecommerce, social, gaming, messaging, lending, consumer, and location-based products. I am a startup founder, native iOS developer, and growth/marketing expert.
2 of the first 5 "AR Apps" featured in the App Store are my clients. I'm shooting for 5 out of 5.
Experience with: Swift, ARKit 4, SwiftUI, SceneKit, Metal, RealityKit, iMessage extensions, Firebase, Vision, Stripe, Sketch, Wireframing, UX, and SQL

I'm booked for the next couple months. If you have any questions or want to get a conversation started: Shoot me a message & let's talk!
Well versed in python and javascript, but capable in other languages as well (have deployed Java/Golang/C recently). I've recently been working in privacy/security, currently working on combating disinformation.
I've been big on python testing lately. I've implemented testing for large python projects at two companies now, bringing them from 0% coverage to 100% coverage. I'm experienced in mocking tools to isolate components for testing, make tests deterministic, and remove the need for networking (who wants to run tests that rely on third party things).
Big on Django but not restricted to that. Lots of experience with modern react/vue. I've been a remote worker for about half a decade now, so I had a track record of getting things done without direct supervision, and my remote work means my schedule is flexible for side projects. Set up to easily work with either US or UK entities.
