Summary
Pat Murphy is a founder and senior iOS developer with over 15 years of hands-on experience building high-performance mobile apps, specializing in Swift, SwiftUI, Objective-C, and mixed-language projects. Based in San Jose, he architects maintainable MVVM SwiftUI apps, often replacing UIKit/storyboards with SwiftData/CoreData or optimized SQLite-backed stores and one-line Codable-to-SQLite pipelines for fast upserts. He pairs deep Bluetooth expertise (Nordic nRF52833 firmware and resilient BLE reconnection strategies) with pragmatic backend work in Go/Gin to deliver end-to-end solutions for medical, fitness, and sensor-driven products. Comfortable across the full lifecycle, he regularly uses Alamofire, Crashlytics, Amplitude, Jira, and GitHub PR workflows to ship and stabilize App Store releases. As a consultant through Fitamatic LLC he offers direct contracting with a Federal EIN, and can prototype new SwiftUI views wired to server APIs in about 30 minutes for simple screens. Notably, he uniquely bridges embedded firmware and app-level concerns, enabling reliable OTA firmware updates and background BLE operation in real-world products.
