Roland Lariotte

As an independent Full Stack Swift Developer, I specialize in delivering complete solutions across all Apple platforms (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, and tvOS). My work emphasizes modern architectures, best practices, and long-term maintainability. I focus on using the latest Apple frameworks like SwiftUI, Combine, and Vapor, applying a TDD approach for reliability and quality.

My expertise includes:

- Developing fully native applications for the Apple ecosystem.

- Creating scalable backend solutions using Vapor and PostgreSQL with PostGIS for geospatial data.

- Implementing architectures such as MVVM, VIP, and Clean Architecture to ensure robust and maintainable codebases.

- Writing REST API applications in Swift for seamless integration between the client and server sides.

- Maintaining rigorous standards for testing and documentation using tools like Xcode Cloud, GitHub Actions, and Instruments.

Delivering high-quality applications with best practices is my mission. Below are links to some of the projects I’ve worked on:
