Kyle Begeman Hamilton, Ohio, remote
Principal architect with sixteen years shipping native Apple apps and the APIs, data, and infrastructure behind them.
Built from scratch.
Rebuilt for iOS 26.
I built Embrace’s original iOS app, then rewrote and redesigned the full experience with SwiftUI, The Composable Architecture, and Liquid Glass.
Product design, iOS development, and architecture.
Drag across the screens or use the slider. Original screens stayed light in dark mode.
Aaron Paul’s catchphrase,
shipped as an app.
He recorded the lines. I built the iOS app that sent them to your friends, and it was covered by The Verge, Mashable, and dozens more.
The app, the web,
and everything behind them.
I rebuilt the iOS app in SwiftUI and TCA, built the backend and the infrastructure that runs it, and rebuilt the web app in Next.js. All three are in production.

Slope shading on a 3D map, route planning, forecasts, and offline data.
The same account and routes, with room to plan at desktop size.
One API, two workers, PostGIS, and the path to production.
Change memory beside the code: receipts, context for coding agents, and a browsable record of why.

One JSON model in, one self-contained HTML page out, with decisions a reader makes by number and an agent reads back.
GoMITUpdated Sep 2026
One Swift API for every language model an app can reach, with prompt contracts, token budgets, explicit fallbacks, and redacted receipts.

One small program that runs your machines: deploys, certificates, secrets, backups, health checks, and alerts from a single Go binary.

02 Behind it
Each layer below is something I built or operate, from the SwiftUI on Embrace’s screen to the server that delivered this page.
begam.in is my TypeScript API, built on Hono and SQLite. Helios, my open-source Go deploy tool, deploys it and this site to a server I run behind Cloudflare and Caddy, and each deploy rebuilds this page.
Readings marked with a dot are live. They come from begam.in and from your browser, and fall back to build-time values when either is unavailable.

Kyle built our entire business infrastructure from the ground up in record time, and the quality far exceeded our expectations. An outstanding full-stack engineer who executes at an exceptionally high level. I'd trust him to lead the technical direction of any product without hesitation.
I've shipped two full products with Kyle start to finish. Strong work ethic, real talent, and genuinely independent. He's pulled off everything I've thrown at him UI and UX wise, gets what I'm going for as a designer, and ships it on the front end with flair. I always want Kyle on the product team, and so far I'm two for two.
04 About
I specialize in native Apple development in Swift and SwiftUI, with deep experience in iOS architecture and The Composable Architecture.
In sixteen years of building software, I’ve rebuilt the Embrace iOS app as its sole developer, led the Objective-C to Swift rewrite at Leafly, and shipped at Dropbox, where my accessibility work was featured at WWDC. At AspectAvy I rebuilt the iOS app in SwiftUI, rebuilt the web app, and built the backend and infrastructure, with all three now in production.
I work remotely from Hamilton, Ohio, as a principal architect and full-stack engineer, taking products from architecture through production.

iOS development with deep roots in SwiftUI and The Composable Architecture. Modular codebases, thorough test coverage, and automated release pipelines through to the App Store.
APIs, real-time services, and full-stack web applications. Authentication, multi-tenant data, and the infrastructure and deploy tooling that keep a product running.
AI integrations, on-device models, and developer tools with typed boundaries and deterministic fallbacks, including the open-source SwiftLM, Ledger, and Dossier.
