Ex-Apple, ex-SpaceX, and a 16-year veteran of Apple’s AppKit team, Troy founded Coherence Labs in October 2011 to pioneer bold new directions in Mac app development. Leveraging his love of elegant design and pleasing user interaction, deep knowledge of macOS’s application frameworks, and decades of programming experience to produce powerful, delightful tools gives him great satisfaction.

During his time at Apple, Troy contributed code and API design to OS X 10.2 “Jaguar” through 10.8 “Mountain Lion” and 10.10 “Yosemite” through 12.0 “Monterey”, and was a regular speaker at Apple’s annual World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC).

Prior to that, Troy did 3D graphics programming and art pipeline development in the videogame industry, and various other software engineering contract work.
