About

Hey there! My name is René Fouquet and I work as an iOS and macOS developer in Hamburg, Germany. I live in the tiny (but beautiful) village of Buchholz, located at the Ratzeburg lake.

I mostly dabble in Swift these days, but I have a long history with Objective-C. I started writing macOS (then OS X) apps after the transition from Mac OS Classic in 2001. When the (iPhone) App Store opened in 2008, I dove right into iOS development.

If I do not sit in front of a keyboard, I enjoy hiking and woodworking.

My website is a static site generated using Jekyll and served via Nginx on my private server. The design is based on a heavily modified core of the Sidey theme.

I push updates via Git; this way I can write posts from pretty much anywhere, using either my Mac (using BBEdit and Tower), my iPad Pro or my iPhone (using Textastic and Working Copy).
