James Bellamy is an iOS engineer with 11 years of professional experience and eight years focused on native Swift/Objective-C development, complemented by five years building React and TypeScript front-ends. Based in London, he has built apps from scratch at startups and led teams through rapid growth, notably constructing nate’s native iOS app and scaling the engineering function during a $51M funding phase. He combines product-minded engineering—rapid prototyping, UX-driven decisions, and GraphQL/REST integrations—with hands-on backend and DevOps familiarity across AWS and automated testing. As a former technical co-founder, he architected data-heavy platforms (PostgreSQL, GraphQL) and exited via buyout, showing both product and business acumen. James mentors engineers, runs hiring processes, and prefers pragmatic Agile practices that keep teams shipping. An early Shazam intern who contributed to a high-impact Mac release, he brings startup grit and a track record of turning prototypes into production.
