Justin Reid
App engineer&product designer·Edinburgh
I take iOS apps from idea to App Store — the design, the Swift, and the backend behind them. I've shipped in fintech and experimental medical research, including NHS and international contracts, and I build my own games on the side. I care about how a thing feels as much as how it works.
Featured
A fast, stylish card game played in real time over the internet — spin up a room, share a code, and your crew drops in. Designed and built solo: custom rendering, hand-tuned game feel, and a complete visual identity. Free, no ads.
Also building
Calendar assistant powered by the on-device foundation model. End-to-end product work spanning app behaviour, API orchestration, and automation for real-world schedule workflows.
Turns your Spotify listening history into a wallpaper that updates itself. Native App Intents for Siri and Shortcuts automation, with premium filters and grid customization.
How I work
I work closest to the product — design, engineering, and release, ideally none of them siloed. Give me a vague idea and I'll come back with something you can hold.
I've built in regulated environments where quality isn't optional, and on indie projects where shipping is. The thread through all of it is craft: the weight of a typeface, the feel of an interaction, the detail you only notice when it's missing. Small teams, clear scope, no waste.
