Dave Lyon is an owner and principal consultant with 15 years of hands-on experience building and scaling mobile and backend systems, specializing in iOS (Swift, SwiftUI, Objective-C) and cross-platform React/React Native apps. He combines product-focused engineering with process and delivery automation expertise—reducing build times, improving crash-free rates, and implementing robust CI/CD and tooling for fast-moving teams. As a hybrid full-stack architect he bridges frontend, backend, analytics and marketing integrations to boost user retention and revenue, and has shipped work for companies like Walmart Labs, LifeOmic and Anova Culinary. Notably, he once traced a production issue into Hermes’s C++ engine and contributed a fix, reflecting a willingness to dive deep when bugs defy easy diagnosis. Based in Chandler, AZ, he now consults on remote iOS/iPadOS and React Native projects, emphasizing rapid prototyping, developer productivity, and measurable process improvements.
