Jeroen returns to AppForce One with a pivot to a new format focused on his journey back to iOS development after working in developer relations at Stream.
• Now working at Dawn Technology (formerly Egeniq), returning to hands-on iOS development
• Introducing "AppForce One Work Log" - a bi-weekly, 25-minute show sharing real development experiences
• No corporate speak or fluff - just honest developer-to-developer conversations about real coding challenges
• Each episode will include: week in review, code deep dives, tool discussions, and lessons learned
• Currently working on refactoring an 8-year-old UIKit app for emergency response (bedrijfshulpverlening)
• Excited about modernizing legacy code while keeping the app running for users who depend on it
• Organizing DoiOS 2025 conference in November with practical, real-world iOS development content
• Actively seeking listener feedback on what topics would be most valuable to cover
