What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to innovate at the intersection of AI and UI, in a collaborative and dynamic environment.

As a React Native engineer with over 6.5 years of experience, I have a proven track record of developing user interfaces for AI-powered applications. I was fortunate to be part of one of the first organizations to ship widely-adopted products utilizing on-device CoreML and TensorFlowLite models. My journey has been driven by a passion for creating user-facing products that blend cutting-edge technology with beautiful design.

In my current role as a Staff Engineer at iNaturalist, I successfully architected and launched a complete rewrite of our legacy app, which has garnered over 44.8K installs and a 4+ star rating. My contributions have not only improved user experience but also enhanced developer efficiency, reducing test runtime by 40%. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working with agile teams to push the boundaries of what's possible in mobile development.
