Summary
Tarik Stafford is a self-taught iOS engineer and entrepreneur with nine years of mobile development experience, currently co-founding and leading product and AI for prop-tech startup Rently. He has a proven track record of shipping consumer-ready iOS apps across startups and scale-ups—including Rebtel, Hedvig, and MAJORITY—and has progressed from developer to Head of AI while retaining hands-on ownership of the product. At Rently he translated domain knowledge into a user-centric property management platform, blending UX-first design with pragmatic AI features to streamline real estate workflows. Based in Stockholm with roots tied to Singapore, he combines international perspective with a maker’s mentality honed through Udacity iOS training and early internships. Colleagues describe him as a creative problem-solver who turns messy product requirements into elegant, testable solutions. Outside work he favors building end-to-end experiences rather than isolated components, which informs his full lifecycle approach to mobile product development.
