Karl Schmidt - Technical Consultant

Does your iOS app have a performance problem?

Your app feels slow, sluggish, or stuttery. It’s no longer the smooth and fast experience it once was. Your engineering team is stuck. You’re worried that as you put more data into your system, performance is only going to get worse.

Instead, what if it was lightning fast?

Your app is back to feeling responsive. Your team has a plan to keep it that way even with many more users. They feel confident in their ability to solve new performance challenges as they come up. You are confident in your team and can concentrate on other areas of your business.

Feedback from past clients:

Ubiq - social media app with a unique real-time map view

“That was great.

Jose (the engineer) thought the time was both really useful and enjoyable. I thought about how little I know.”

Shawn - Former Director of Engineering at Mobify

“Karl was one of the most capable engineers I’ve worked with, he was able to work backwards from any outcome needed and come back with a solution, no matter what area of the stack.”

– Shawn Jansepar, Director of Engineering and Product Leader of the Khanmigo Platform at Khan Academy

Carson - an engineer I hired and managed at Gasket Games
