About Empower Apps
Hey everyone, I'm Leo Dion, I run BrightDigit, my freelance development/consultant/contract development business from Michigan focus on Apple technology and Swift development. I've built iPhone, iPad, watchOS, macOS and web apps in Swift. This podcast is dedicated to helping businesses and developers learn how to utilize those technologies whether as a solo indie developer to large enterprize teams.
About Me
I has been doing development for 20 years and development in the Apple space for 10 years. Besides coding, learning and teaching about Swift, I have a wonderful wife and five little kids who keep me active and busy.
