GeorgiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Full-Stack Developer and Mobile Architect with over 20 years designing, scaling, and leading end-to-end product development for cross-platform applications, SaaS platforms, and AI-driven systems. I have led UI modernizations, delivered critical platform upgrades, and built native mobile apps integrating deep learning and biometric features.
I combine strong technical leadership with hands-on engineering across C#, .NET, TypeScript, React, Kotlin, Flutter, and cloud/DevOps toolchains. My work has improved performance and adoption (including a 200% backend transfer speed improvement and a near-70% uplift in UI usage) and driven production releases for enterprise clients.
