Abdelrahman Eita is a Staff Software Engineer in Amsterdam. For 10+ years he has built iOS apps used by millions of people, including GoChat, which reached #1 on the US App Store with 1M+ users in 7 days.

At work: fast builds, stable apps, and teams that ship. After hours: eight indie apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV (plus one in TestFlight beta), Drive Town (a free 3D game for the Dutch car theory exam), a blog about making them, and SwiftCairo, Egypt's largest iOS developer community.

About

I grew up tinkering: taking things apart to see how they worked, then building something new from the pieces. These days I live in Amsterdam and split my time between building apps, 3D printing odd little objects, and a small garden that survives me, barely.

I have spent a decade in the Apple ecosystem, with years of ecommerce along the way. On my own time I make small apps that do one job well: for the living room, for families, for hosts, and some just for fun. Every one is free to download; some have optional upgrades.

The rest is reading, walking the canals, and starting yet another side project I'm convinced the world needs.
