Senior Product Engineer &
Full-Stack Software Developer, with a focus on scalable, production-level architecture and smooth UI design.

More than 10 years building mobile and web products, mostly health tech, enterprise software, social media and AI Apps . I usually end up owning the architecture on both sides, and I care how it looks when it ships.

Portfolio

Skills

  • Architecture that holds

    I design contract-based APIs, typed end to end, so the client and the server never drift out of sync. I build for scale from the start, structured, tested as I go, and documented before anyone has to ask.

  • The whole stack

    I started as a native mobile developer, in Kotlin and Swift, then went cross-platform across mobile and web. I am just as comfortable in the backend, PHP, and infrastructure on AWS and GCP, so I can own a product end to end.

  • UI that was designed

    I build pixel-perfect UI, animated where it earns it, and accessible to WCAG AA, never bolted on after. Seven years in mobile, five of it cross-platform, including one product that held 4.9 stars on both app stores.

  • AI on the device

    I put AI on the device instead of behind a round trip, local LLMs, offline voice, wake-word detection and RAG, running directly on phones and smart glasses.
