John Marc spent nearly 13 years at Apple working on App Store technical policy, privacy initiatives, and helped ship iOS and iPad apps on visionOS and brought widgets to visionOS. He's given WWDC talks, collaborated with engineers across Apple and the developer community, and gained a deep appreciation for the gap between "this works in the demo" and "this ships to millions of users."

Now he's building Dewy Golf, an iOS app launching April 2026 that uses computer vision to automatically detect golf courses, recognize holes and using ML to detect shots automagically.. The technical stack includes segmentation models trained on satellite imagery, CoreML inference running on-device, and sensor fusion combining iPhone and Apple Watch motion data. It's the kind of project where you learn that training a model is the easy part; building the pipeline to do it at scale is where things get interesting.

John Marc is based in Colorado, and can be found at @ioloro across platforms. His talks tend to focus on the practical challenges of shipping real features to real users and building fun customer experiences.

With 20 years in IT and 16 years dedicated to the world of Citrix and virtualization, I’ve learned that the most important part of any system isn't the code—it’s the human sitting in front of it.

I’ve spent the first half of my career "walking in the shoes" of internal Ops teams, which means I know exactly what happens after a consultant leaves the room. Today, as an Architect and Consultant, I bring that empathy to every project. My approach is simple: I don't care who made the mistake; I care about how we fix it and how we evolve so it never happens again. I live by the Pippi Longstocking mantra: "I have never tried that before, so I am most likely very good at it."

When I’m not standardizing user experiences or solving complex architectural puzzles, you’ll find me in the Danish countryside. I’m a father of four, a fan of heavy strategy board games (with a collection of 100+ titles), and a dedicated LEGO builder. Whether it's a 6,000-piece Rivendell set or a global virtualization rollout, I believe that if you follow the right blueprint—and keep the end goal in sight—you can build something wonderful.
