What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my technical expertise to drive innovation and deliver exceptional user experiences.

I am a Senior Mobile Engineer with over 5 years of experience building and scaling consumer-facing mobile applications, primarily using React Native. My work focuses on delivering reliable, high-performance, and user-centered mobile products, with particular strength in offline-first systems, data-driven interfaces, and mobile performance optimisation. I enjoy solving complex problems and translating product requirements into clean, scalable, and maintainable solutions.

In my current role at EverydayMoney Technologies, I lead mobile engineering efforts for a consumer fintech product, taking ownership of core mobile architecture, feature delivery, and app reliability. I work closely with product and business teams to design and ship experiences that improve engagement and retention, while ensuring the app performs reliably under real-world conditions. Previously, at CommonIdentity Ltd, I led development of large-scale, regulated mobile platforms, gaining deep experience in security-critical and high-availability systems.

Across my career, I have built expertise in mobile architecture, APIs, state management, offline data handling, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines. I am comfortable working in Agile environments, mentoring engineers, and collaborating cross-functionally to deliver high-quality products that balance technical rigor with real user impact.
