Hire Me

I’m looking for my next full time or contract role. Please read on and contact me, Chris Trott, if you’d like to work together.

I specialize in iOS development with Swift, but I’m enthusiastic about learning and working with any technology that best solves the problem at hand. I’ve been creating iOS apps for medium-sized companies, startups, and independently since iOS 3, with over 9 years experience in traditional full-time iOS engineering roles. I’ve been writing on this blog since 2011 and my posts are regularly shared in various iOS email newsletters.

I’m happy doing full-lifecycle feature work, specialized UI and animation, legacy code refactoring, infrastructure, performance tuning, bug investigation, prototyping, code review, technical writing, management, presentations, and more. When doing feature work, I prefer working on multi-functional teams where I can contribute to the complete end-user experience.

I’m open to remote roles compatible with East Asian timezones (GMT+9) or in-person in the Tokyo-area. I’m an American citizen and a permanent resident of Japan.

I have native English and intermediate Japanese language skill. I’ve worked on fully English-speaking, fully Japanese-speaking, and mixed-language teams. I am (and will forever be) actively studying Japanese.

I know most companies have custom aptitude tests, but since I have a selection of open source code and publicly available apps, I’d be happy to help find existing code samples that exhibit the skills commonly tested.
