Hi, I'm Francis Beasley · Mobile App Lead & AI Guru

I turn ideas into shipped apps on time and on budget.

18 years building iOS, Android and cross-platform products for startups and household names. These days I add AI to them as well: voice interfaces, intelligent automation and LLM-powered workflows.

01About

A seasoned mobile lead with a can-do attitude.

    Languages & workflow

      02Selected work

      Some of the work I'm proudest of.

      03Time machine

      18 years, 25 roles, one slider.

      Drag through my career. The phone changes with the era, from skeuomorphic linen to Liquid Glass.

      Toolbelt that year (approximate)

        04Experience

        Native on both platforms, full stack behind them.

        Also: KMP SDKs with Ktor & Koin, performance tuning, and secure integration across iOS and Android.

        05Full stack

        I don't stop at the app. Pixel to pod.

        When a product needs it, I build the APIs behind the app and the infrastructure it runs on: ASP.NET Core, PHP and Laravel, or Node.js, with Kubernetes and Terraform underneath.

        01Client

        Mobile apps

        Native and cross-platform

          02API

          ASP.NET Core

          Backend services in C#

            03Infrastructure

            Cloud & DevOps

            Infrastructure as code

              06Other apps

              Millions of downloads, one home screen.

                    07Off the clock

                    When I'm not shipping, I'm training.

                    Swimming, cycling and running towards an Ironman, playing bass, and recovering at the cinema.

                    In training

                    Ironman

                    • 3.8 km swim
                    • 180 km bike
                    • 42.2 km run

                    226 km in a single day. Roughly the attitude I bring to a release deadline.

                    Remote and hybrid for 10 years, since before COVID made it normal. The tools are second nature.

                    Cinema

                    Anime & movies

                    I'm a cinema regular with a particular passion for Japanese anime.

                    Two daughters and a son. My toughest stakeholders by far.

                    Music

                    No. 14UK Singles
                    Chart

                    I play bass, clarinet and saxophone to a high level, and one of the bands I played bass in reached No. 14 in the UK Singles Chart. Before apps, I studied at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music and left with a Distinction.

                      Got an idea, a half-built app, or a product that needs some AI in it? Let's talk.
