I'm Maria Soriano. I teach Swift and design Notion systems that help people and teams work with less noise. Based in Helsinki, out running most days.
I'd rather show a few things and tell you what's behind each one: what it is, what I do, and why it matters to me.
Learn Swift from scratch, on every Apple device.
Be Native is a learning app for Swift and SwiftUI, in English and Spanish. Courses, mini-courses and short lessons you can follow on iPhone, iPad or Mac, with an AI helper that explains any piece of code.
A channel where 100,000+ people learn Swift, Apple tools and productivity.
I started recording to organise what I was learning. Today it's where I teach in the open, in Spanish, and share what I'm working on each week in my Dev Diary.
Productivity systems built to fit, for individuals and companies.
A good system isn't a pretty template. It's the one you still use three months later. I design Notion workspaces around how each person or team really works, and teach them how to keep it running.
I didn't take the short way into programming. Like the elevation profile of a long race, every climb prepared me for the next one.
The classroom taught me the hardest skill of all: explaining something complex so it lands the first time.
After the pandemic I changed direction. I started with Python and data analysis, and found out how much I enjoyed programming.
I completed the program at Apple Coding Academy. It's where I truly learned a programming language from scratch, and where I fell in love with Swift.
Trainer at Apple Coding Academy, part of the Be Native team, and content creator based in Helsinki.
I live and work in Helsinki, Finland. Most of the ideas on this site started on a run around the city.
Get in touch if you're looking for a Swift developer who knows how to teach, a content collaboration, or a Notion system for your team.
