Hi, I’m Derrick Goodfriend, a self-taught software developer with a passion for building intuitive, high-performance applications. With nearly 15 years of experience working in the Apple ecosystem, I’ve had the privilege of developing and releasing several apps on the App Store for both iOS and macOS. My primary focus is on Swift, but I’ve always embraced new challenges, whether it's diving into the latest Apple technologies or exploring new ways to optimize user experiences.

When I’m not building apps, I love getting my hands dirty with electronics projects. Whether it's perfecting my soldering skills, experimenting with hardware, or writing code for microcontrollers, I enjoy creating things that merge the digital and physical worlds. This passion for technology extends beyond software—I’m always looking for ways to expand my knowledge and share it with others.

In my downtime, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors, playing video games, or learning about new languages—both human and programming. I’m also passionate about teaching others, whether it's helping colleagues level up their coding skills or sharing the joy of language learning.

As a developer, my goal is to keep learning, growing, and creating software that not only works, but works beautifully.
