Mike Robinson

Senior Software Engineer & Indie Maker

10+ years building iOS & macOS apps and Python backends. Now using that foundation to craft my own products — one app at a time.

About me

I'm a software engineer who has spent over a decade shipping iOS and macOS apps, with a backend life in Python on the side. I care about building things that are genuinely useful, feel great to use, and don't get in the way.

These days I'm channelling that into indie making — building my own small, focused products that scratch real itches. I use AI to help me move faster and reach beyond my comfort zone into new platforms (like this very website).

When I'm not coding I'm probably thinking about why the iOS simulator is so slow, or reading about someone who quit their job to build a spreadsheet app.

Projects

Reach

Your Audience.

Raising the minimum deployment target in an Xcode project shouldn't be a leap of faith. Reach shows you exactly which devices you'd lose and the real-world user impact — so you can make an informed call, not a guess.
