About the Founder
Systems engineer turned Apple developer. Built to ship products that hold up under real use.
Yahya is the founder of Winglet LLC, an independent Apple developer studio. Before starting Winglet, he spent years in the field — commissioning robotic fulfillment systems, supporting automated distribution operations for pharmaceutical and industrial clients, and migrating legacy software for companies that couldn't afford to get it wrong.
That background shapes how he builds software today: less theory, more troubleshooting. Time spent on factory floors, in server rooms, and on deployment sites taught him that the right fix is rarely the flashiest one — it's the one that actually holds up under real conditions, on a deadline, with people depending on it.
"Most apps don’t need more features. They need someone willing to get the fundamentals right and ship something that works."
Winglet exists to build that kind of software — honest, well-crafted Apple products built entirely on the Apple ecosystem, from the app itself down to the backend and APIs behind it. The approach is always the same: understand the problem first, then build the fix.
Yahya holds a B.S. in Engineering Technology and has led cross-functional projects across robotics, controls systems, and software engineering before founding Winglet. He's based in Pennsylvania, still spends time on the road, and believes the best software gets built when someone is willing to get specific about the problem in front of them.
