Hi, I'm Francis Beasley · Mobile App Lead & AI Guru

I turn ideas into shipped apps on time and on budget.

18 years building iOS, Android and cross-platform products for startups and household names. These days I add AI to them as well: voice interfaces, intelligent automation and LLM-powered workflows.

01About

A seasoned mobile lead with a can-do attitude.

    Languages & workflow

      02Selected work

      Some of the work I'm proudest of.

      03Clients

      Every app and client, one phone.

      Swipe through everything I've built or worked on, from household names to startups. Tap an app for the story.

      04Experience

      Native on both platforms, full stack behind them.

      Also: KMP SDKs with Ktor & Koin, performance tuning, and secure integration across iOS and Android.

      05Full stack

      I don't stop at the app. Pixel to pod.

      When a product needs it, I build the APIs behind the app and the infrastructure it runs on: ASP.NET Core, PHP and Laravel, or Node.js, with Kubernetes and Terraform underneath.

      01Client

                  07Off the clock

                  When I'm not shipping, I'm training.

                  Swimming, cycling and running towards an Ironman, playing bass, and recovering at the cinema.

                  In training

                  Ironman

                  • 3.8 km swim
                  • 180 km bike
                  • 42.2 km run

                  226 km in a single day. Roughly the attitude I bring to a release deadline.

                  Anime & movies

                  I'm a cinema regular with a particular passion for Japanese anime.

                  Two daughters and a son. My toughest stakeholders by far.

                  No. 14UK Singles
                  Chart

                  I play bass, clarinet and saxophone to a high level, and one of the bands I played bass in reached No. 14 in the UK Singles Chart. Before apps, I studied at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music and left with a Distinction.

                    Got an idea, a half-built app, or a product that needs some AI in it? Let's talk.
