Hey! I’m Yakov 🙋🏼‍♂️

I do software development for a living—and for fun 🔥

🛠 I mostly work with Swift on iOS and macOS. My favorite projects are 🌌 Space Photos, an app that shows pictures of the universe so users can learn something new every day, and ☕️ Caffeine, a Mac utility which prevents the computer from sleeping.

👨🏼‍💻 I contribute to the open source by maintaining a couple Swift packages of my own, as well as working on a few widely-used projects, including the Firebase SDK for Apple platforms and Outline VPN client.

💸 If you find my initiatives helpful, you’re always welcome to file bug reports and contribute code. And now you can contribute in one more way—by sponsoring my effort. These funds help me cover the costs of software, hosting, and everything else it takes to maintain a software project.
