Robert Drake

Falconer and iOS engineer, based in the States. I build tools for a craft most people don't know exists.


FalconryLab

A field companion built by falconers, for falconers.

FalconryLab is a native iOS app built for the people who wake up before dawn, drive into open country, and fly birds of prey β€” then need to actually track what happened out there.

What it does:

  • Weight tracking with burn rate calculations β€” because grams matter when your bird's performance depends on precise conditioning
  • Two proprietary feeding calculators β€” tailored to the metabolic realities of raptors in work
  • Training session logger across 8 session types β€” from creance work to free flights
  • GPS hunt journal with waypoints β€” mark where the hawk caught, where she waited on, where the quarry flushed
  • Automatic weather capture β€” wind, temperature, and pressure logged with every session

Built for the field. Offline-first architecture, because cell service doesn't exist where falconers hunt. Everything syncs when you're back in range.

Built with SwiftUI, SwiftData, Vapor, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS β€” a full native stack from the interface to the infrastructure.

Currently in beta.

Open to Collaborations

I'm interested in working with people building for niche communities, outdoor and wildlife tech, or anything where software serves a craft. If you're building something that matters to a small group of people who care deeply β€” let's talk.


The birds don't wait. Neither does the code.
