I'm a mobile app developer with 2+ years of full-time experience shipping production apps on iOS and Android — React Native at the core, with native Swift and Kotlin underneath.

In my current role I'm Software Engineer and Release Manager. I own both store release pipelines end to end, from the Play Console and App Store Connect through to the CI/CD every release runs on, and I've shipped 40+ releases. I led the React Native 0.68 to 0.80 upgrade, migrating every native dependency and all platform code to Kotlin and Swift, and rebuilt a legacy codebase into a modular architecture that cut feature delivery time. I wrote test coverage across 60% of the codebase, unit through end-to-end, and 80+ custom ESLint rules that gate PR merges through CI. Beyond the pipeline, I've driven 10+ features from PRD through prototype and team alignment to production, delivered through other developers.

Earlier I built 140+ screens from scratch in a cross-platform codebase, including an infinite-scroll video feed with windowed playback and player recycling, live buyer-to-seller messaging over WebSocket, and a native maps SDK integration for tiles and location search.

Outside of work I ship my own software. I've published two open-source React Native libraries with 14,600+ downloads and 26 GitHub stars, and a Figma plugin used by 129 people. I also built SnoozeWar solo — a sleep-wake enforcement app now live on Google Play in 176 countries, with 120+ beta users before launch. That one is mine end to end: product design, the React Native app, the native Android enforcement layer, the backend, the privacy and Play compliance work, and the marketing.

What I want next is ownership over products rather than tickets, and not to be boxed into one layer of the stack — I'd rather go where the problem is. Open to remote. 15-day notice period.
