Richard Ziolkowski

I make iPhone apps, web tools, games, courses, and small developer utilities.

Most of my work starts with a concrete problem: learn a command, practice a workflow, run a small system, or make a game loop feel good. I mostly use Swift and SwiftUI, React and TypeScript, Python, and Docker.

You can see the current work in projects and the longer-form thinking in notes.
