Why Choose AppArmy?
Hi, I'm Brendan. I'm a designer, painter, and software engineer with a Computer Science degree from UCSD and over 20 years of experience making apps, games, and software people love.
Disney
I built cutting-edge apps and games that blended storytelling, technology, and interactivity—pushing the limits of what was possible on mobile and web platforms.
Yahoo!
I was the first iOS developer in the SoCal office, building the OMG! app and leading front-end development for the award-winning real-time Election Dashboard, winning ADDY and In-House Design awards.
UCLA
I worked at the intersection of technology, design, and research, building custom software tools to support scientific discovery and academic innovation.
The AppArmy philosophy
You're not just hiring another dev shop—you're getting a battle-tested product partner with deep expertise in software, AI, design, and branding. We combine senior-level engineering with an AI-native workflow to move faster, explore more ideas, and build with exceptional attention to detail. We obsess over UX and aesthetics, sweat the edge cases, think like founders, and care as much about how your product feels, looks, and presents itself to the world as how well it works. The goal isn't simply to ship an app—it's to create something distinctive, polished, and genuinely worth using.
