About me

I’m Janarthanan Kannan, a passionate iOS Developer with over a decade of experience turning ideas into elegant, user-friendly mobile apps. Over the years, I’ve built and launched 15+ iOS & Android applications across fintech, e-commerce, automotive, and lifestyle domains — together reaching 100K+ downloads and even earning App Store features.

I specialize in Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, and Core Data, Java & Kotlin, with a strong focus on clean architecture (MVC/MVVM) and performance optimization. I love solving complex problems, mentoring teams, and delivering apps that not only work flawlessly but also create delightful user experiences.

Beyond code, I believe in collaboration and continuous learning — qualities that have helped me grow from building my first iOS app to leading teams and guiding products from concept to launch.

When I’m not coding, you’ll often find me exploring new technologies, tinkering with side projects, or brainstorming the next big idea in mobile.
