How we would work together

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    We talk through your idea or existing app, who it is for, and what a successful first release looks like.

  2. 02

    Plan and estimate

    I break the work into features, flag technical risks early, and give you a scope and timeline you can plan around.

  3. 03

    Build in short iterations

    You get regular TestFlight builds to try on your own iPhone, so feedback happens while changes are still cheap.

  4. 04

    Launch and support

    I prepare the App Store submission, handle review feedback, and stay available for fixes and the next version.

Apps I have built

Each case study covers my role, the features, the tech stack and the results. Most of this work is in media-heavy apps, where performance matters most.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with clients outside Nepal?

Yes. I am based in Pokhara and work with teams in Nepal and abroad. Remote work runs on regular calls, shared task boards and TestFlight builds you can install on your own devices.

How much does it cost to build an iOS app in Nepal?

It depends on the features, the design work and the backend your app needs. After a short discovery call I can give you a scope and estimate for a focused first version, which is usually the most cost-effective way to start.

Do you also build Android apps?

I specialize in native iOS development with Swift. If your product also needs Android, I can help plan a shared API and feature set so an Android developer can build alongside the iOS app.

Can you take over or fix an existing iOS app?

Yes. I can audit the code, fix crashes and performance problems, update it for the latest iOS version, and migrate older Objective-C code to Swift.

Who owns the app and the Apple developer account?

You do. Your app should be published under your own Apple Developer account, and I work inside it with the access you grant. If you are setting up an account from Nepal, this guide walks through it: How to publish an iOS app on the App Store from Nepal
