A little about me

I'm a Senior Mobile Engineer with over 7 years of hands-on experience building production-grade mobile applications for Android and iOS platforms.

My journey spans from crafting pixel-perfect UIs to architecting robust payment infrastructure. I specialize in Flutter (Dart), React Native, Kotlin, and Swift — bringing products to life from ideation to production at scale.

I've led engineering teams, championed CI/CD culture, set up monitoring pipelines, and collaborated cross-functionally with Product, Design, and QA to ship features that users love.

When I'm not pushing code, I'm thinking about system design, developer tooling, and how to make the next app 10× better than the last.
