What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a mobile role in a small, autonomous team building creative tools. I'm open to full-time or contract work and to relocating to the US or EU.

I designed and shipped Happenings, an iOS health and lifestyle tracker, with SwiftUI, SwiftData, CloudKit sync, and StoreKit purchases. I owned the product from its idea and UX through architecture and App Store release.

I built ImageFlow, a node-based photo editor for macOS, with more than 150K lines of Swift and 200+ processing nodes. Its GPU image pipeline combines Core Image and custom Metal kernels to provide live previews.

I also built a commercial Unity plugin that places AR content at real-world GPS coordinates, with iOS and Android builds from one codebase. I supported customers and kept it updated for five years.

At img.ly, I led development of the web version of PhotoEditor SDK, building its React editor UI and WebGL rendering engine. Earlier, I built real-time 3D product configurators for e-commerce clients.
