Available to hire
Hi, I’m Francis Beasley, a mobile app lead and architect with 14+ years of experience, specializing in helping startups turn ideas into fully deployed products on the App Store. I collaborate closely with founders or within cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end mobile solutions, from UI/UX to lifecycle management, delivering clean, scalable, and innovative apps. I’ve built apps for Hotels.com, Nike, RBS and Yorkshire Building Society, using modern architectures like SOLID, CLEAN, MVVM and VIPER.
I have deep iOS and Android experience (Objective-C, Swift, SwiftUI; Kotlin, Java), plus cross-platform work with Flutter, React Native and Kotlin Multiplatform. I’ve led multi-platform SDKs, focused on performance, security, and seamless iOS/Android integration, and I enjoy mentoring teams and delivering results that meet business goals. I’m based in Brighton, UK, and love tackling challenging projects and continuous learning.
