Donat Kabashi

Senior iOS Developer

Available for work

I build apps for Apple’s ecosystem. Over the past years I’ve helped more than 20 clients ship products that raise funding, win awards, and make money, from a fintech doing $500k MRR to a wellness app that took home 9 CES awards.

I care about apps that feel fast, look beautiful, and hold up under real use. I’ve worked with startups, corporations, and directly with founders, usually as the person who owns the iOS side end to end.

Donat is an actual unicorn — if he applies to your posting, you’d be remiss not to hire him.
