Summary
Bosco Ho is a seasoned macOS and iOS developer with 12 years of experience shipping polished apps and developer tools, currently focused on Swift rewrites and macOS utilities like Chinotto for Xcode storage management. As an independent app creator he has launched consumer-focused products—Jot, Fencathon and At-The-Piste—that emphasize one-handed, practical UX and have earned press and high App Store ratings. He’s contributed to open-source SwiftUI projects such as Mlem for Lemmy and brings a pragmatic mix of Apple-platform expertise plus Python and JavaScript on the side. Past roles include impactful engineering work at Castro Podcasts and RunGo where he built features spanning watch sync, AVFoundation rendering and performant routing algorithms. Based in Greater Vancouver, he mentors developers and helps teams migrate Objective-C codebases to Swift while remaining available for short- or long-term contract work. A detail that sets him apart: he balances product sensibility with low-level problem solving—optimizing storage, performance and real-world workflows rather than only surface UI.
