The online home of Brave Location Services Ltd.

Hi, I'm John Pollard, the owner of Brave Location Services Ltd.

I'm an experienced mobile-focused full-stack developer with deep expertise in building and scaling iOS, Android, and Flutter applications

I have worked across enterprise-scale systems and fast-moving startups, delivering robust mobile apps, well-structured APIs and accessible user experiences. My background spans native and cross-platform development, architectural problem-solving and mentoring teams to improve their delivery practices

I combine hands-on engineering with a practical understanding of product needs, and I’m comfortable working on site or remotely from just south of the wall in Northumberland in the UK, where I’ve been an effective remote contributor for more than 15 years.

Availability

I've just finished a contract at the end of November 2025, so I'm free to take on new work right now

Mobile apps

I've built a bunch of native mobile apps for both iOS and Android.

Read more about the apps on my apps portfolio page.
