@vatsal_manot

Vatsal fell in love with his jailbroken iPod touch 4G back in 2011 as twelve year old, and has been programming on Apple platforms ever since. He’s extreemly passionate about the Swift community and maintains numerous Swift/SwiftUI OSS projects.

His friends would say that he loves building frameworks, almost to a fault - but he’s okay with that :p

At the moment, Vatsal is laser-focused on bridging the gap between Swift developers and generative AI. He's working onbsessively on bringing state-of-the-art LLM tooling to Apple platforms via native Swift libraries, and is excited to see what the community builds with it.
