Bodgar Espinosa — mobile engineer

I keep small-business apps from breaking.

Apple and Google change the rules every year. An app that nobody maintains stops working on its own — and the customer who can't book, order or pay doesn't call you. They go somewhere else.

I'm a mobile engineer with ten years building apps you already have on your phone. I keep yours running for a flat monthly fee.

Mexico City · Working US hours · Ten years, five apps in the App Store

In production

Apps I've built and shipped.

Not a portfolio of mockups. Open any of them right now — they're live, and you've probably used one this week.

I built these as part of the engineering teams at Grid Dynamics, HCLTech, Globant, Evolutyz and Banco Azteca. They're not my clients — they're the apps my code is in.

The problem

Nobody touched your app. It broke anyway.

Every September

A new version of iOS ships, and every phone updates itself. An app built for last year's version starts behaving badly, or stops opening at all.

Without warning

Apple and Google set compliance deadlines. The notice goes to a developer account nobody checks any more. Miss it and the app comes down.

Quietly

Certificates expire. The payment, booking or map service inside your app drops support for old versions. One morning the button just doesn't work.

And then

Your app slides down the search results, your reviews turn, and the people who would have booked with you book with someone else.

None of this starts with something you did. All of it comes with a deadline.

Pricing

One flat fee a month. No surprises.

Who you'd be working with

Just me. That's the point.

Bodgar Espinosa

I'm Bodgar, a mobile engineer in Mexico City. For ten years I've built and looked after iOS and Android apps for companies like Google, Walmart, Venmo, Domino's and PetSmart, working alongside US teams and on US hours.

You won't be handed to an account manager or a rotating team. You talk to the person writing the code. I take on a small number of apps so that each one actually gets looked at.
