Visit SiteAbout Me
I'm Patrick Adams, a Senior iOS engineer with 12+ years of experience building consumer-facing apps used by millions. I've shipped production code at companies like Backbone (500K+ MAU gaming app), The Knot Worldwide, and SURE — working across the full Swift stack with deep expertise in UIKit, SwiftUI, RxSwift, GraphQL, and modern mobile architectures.
I'm also the founder of the Lion Suite — a family of iOS apps focused on digital safety, accountability, and parental controls. What started as a personal project has grown into a platform used by thousands of families across the App Store.
I leverage AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code to move faster and build more than most teams twice my size. It's not a crutch — it's a force multiplier that keeps me focused on hard problems and lets me ship polished products on a founder's timeline.
I also take on client web projects, building fast, modern marketing sites with Next.js and Tailwind. I care about clean code, polished UX, and work that actually ships.
