Selene Associates

Although the word "we" appears a lot on these pages, Selene Associates is a one-person operation. I started it as a way to break into iOS development; although I was already an experienced Mac/Objective-C developer, I was told by recruiters that having an app in the App Store was a prerequisite for even getting an interview for an iOS developer position. So I dusted off some Mac code I had been working on in my own time, created the tide app, and submitted it to the App Store. Coincidentally, I received an iOS development job offer about six hours after the app was released in the Store.

Earlier this year, I retired from full-time employment. Since I very much enjoy writing software for iOS and Mac, this frees me up focus on the apps I care about, as opposed to the apps I'm paid to care about. (That's overly cynical; I loved working for my last employer, Black Pixel.)

So, hopefully there will be a little more action from Selene Associates in the coming months. Stay tuned.
