Hi! My name is Gavin Shrader.

I've been building iOS apps and websites professionally and as a hobby for the last 5+ years. I'm a full-stack engineer although my primary interest and skillset is building iOS apps using the Swift programming language.

When I'm not behind my computer I like getting outdoors, exploring nature, hiking, and running.

I've been getting back into writing as a hobby recently, and I share articles and posts on my blog. I write a mixture of technical deep-dives, creative storytelling, and random, hopefully useful or interesting, insights.

In my free time I am currently building an iOS app that is geared around personalized health and fitness coaching (nutrition, exercise, & sleep). There's a lot of fitness apps on the market, but I haven't found any that are minimalistic and only give me the essentials, the highest value habits I should complete today/this week to stick to my routine. This is what I'm working on now, and I'll share more details soon!
