About Dan Counsell
I'm the founder of Realmac Software, an award-winning independent Mac and iOS development studio. I've been designing, building, and marketing apps for over fifteen years. You can see a selection of projects I've shipped over the past few years.
If you'd like to get in-touch, you can email me or follow me on Twitter.
I regularly blog over at Minimal Path.
