Products people can use, trust and remember.
I'm Maxwell Cadman. I design and build complete products on my own — from the first idea through to the store listing — across web platforms, native mobile apps and Unity games.
Selected products, designed, engineered and shipped across web, iOS and Android.
Selected work
Complete products, built end to end.
Each project below is working software, not a mockup. Public links sit beside the claims where available, and products moving through store release are labelled plainly.

What I do
One developer. A complete path to launch.
Most projects need product thinking and engineering to stay connected. I do both, which removes the hand-offs where intent usually gets lost.
01
Unity game development
Mobile games from prototype to store release — systems, content pipelines, accessibility and build automation.
Unity work
02
iOS & Android apps
Native and React Native applications that work offline first and survive real-world interruption.
Mobile work
03
Websites & platforms
Fast, accessible, search-focused sites and the auth, payments and email behind them.
Platform work
04
Product & launch support
Store submission, release engineering, QA and the operational work that makes a launch hold.
Release work
How I work
Clear decisions. Visible progress. No mystery.
Design
Make the experience concrete
Flows, states and the hard cases — including what happens when things go wrong.
Build
Ship in reviewable pieces
Working software you can open, with tests and accessibility checks carried along the way.
Launch
Get it through the door
Store submission, release engineering, monitoring and the follow-up a real launch needs.
About
A developer who stays close to the whole product.
I'm an independent developer based in Melbourne, Australia. I build across web, mobile and Unity, and I'm happiest turning ambitious ideas into products that feel calm, considered and ready for real users.
I can join at the beginning to help shape the product, or step into an existing build to improve the experience, strengthen the engineering and get it over the line.
For clients that means fewer hand-offs, direct communication, and one person keeping the experience and the implementation moving in the same direction.
