About

From the pitch to the App Store

I'm Nabil, though most people call me Billy. For most of my life my job was football. I played professionally in Canada and in Egypt, and hung up the boots two years ago.

These days I work in IT at the World Bank Group and co-own a company that hosts sports events. In between, I started building apps. It stopped being a side project somewhere around the third Apple review.

Football taught me the part most people skip: turning up for the boring repetitions until the thing actually works. It turns out that's also how you get an app past Apple.

Available for freelance

Got an app idea? Let's ship it.

Most app projects don't die in the code. They die in the last mile: the certificates, the review, the thing Apple wants that nobody told you about. I've been through all of it, three times.

What I build

iPhone apps end to end: the interface, the backend, sign-in, and the App Store submission. You get a working product people can download, not a folder of code.

Who it's for

People with an idea, startups that need a first version in front of real users, and companies that want one person to own the whole thing.

How it works

We agree the scope and the price up front. The app goes out under your own developer account, so you own it outright and nothing is tied to me.
