Andrew Bacon / Apple Platforms / Utility Apps
I work in enterprise Apple device management across macOS desktops and laptops, Apple mobile devices, and Apple TV, and build focused software for Apple platforms.
Profile
My experience comes from years of enterprise work managing Apple devices at scale across macOS desktops, laptops, iPhone and iPad fleets, and Apple TV deployments. This includes endpoint management, identity, compliance, automation, and the day-to-day administration behind keeping Apple environments running.
Tools
Approach
I focus on building management workflows that are well-documented, resiliient, and engineered for long-term maintainability. That means reducing operational friction, simplifying repetitive tasks, and designing processes that scale cleanly as environments evolve. I prioritize architechtures that stay flexible enough to pivot when requirements shift, while still delivering consistent behavior and remaining straightforward for operators to work with.
I also use AI as part of that workflow, mostly for research, tightening up shell scripts, application development, and working through management problems across Apple, identity, and endpoint systems. Artificial intelligence can help speed up investigation and give me a stronger starting point, but the end goal is still the same: workable solutions, maintainable scripts, and sound operational judgment.
Apps
I build focused apps for learning, documenting, mapping systems, and turning repeated workflows into something easier to return to. ShellRef and Terminal Atlas are reference apps for terminal study, and InfraCanvas is a signed, notarized, open-source Mac app for sketching infrastructure and system relationships.
