About Me

Jordan Ellis has spent over eight years building iOS apps and designing games, starting with a childhood love for tinkering with code. He published his first mobile app while still in college, which sparked a full-time career in creating intuitive user interfaces and engaging game experiences. Jordan enjoys sharing practical knowledge, helping others turn ideas into polished projects.
His teaching approach centers on real-world applications, where students build actual apps and games from scratch. Courses are structured to move from basic concepts to complex projects, with clear explanations and hands-on practice. By the end, students gain confidence in Swift, Xcode, and Construct 2, ready to tackle their own development goals.
