Malcolm Teas is a semi-retired principal software engineer and independent consultant based in Sarasota, Florida, who focuses on iOS apps and Linux server projects while doing selective contracting rather than full-time roles. Formerly a senior engineering manager and CTO at firms like Hillrom and Voalte, he blends hands-on engineering with deep experience in hiring, mentoring, and building productive remote development teams. He’s been writing iOS software since 2009 and is fluent in Swift, Objective‑C and Python, with a strong background in Linux/UNIX, macOS, low-level debugging, drivers, and network protocol design. Malcolm has run his own consulting business serving clients such as Apple, HP and Xerox, taught professional technical courses, and helped launch three startups. An advocate and practitioner of effective remote work, he brings practical best practices for distributed engineering environments. Outside of software he’s a licensed pilot, ham radio operator, runner and maker — a professional geek who pairs technical depth with broad curiosity.
