I'm looking for a place where I can own a product area end to end, being close to the problem, working with people who are passionate about the craft, and having room to help shape how the team builds. It matters to me to keep growing as an engineer while having real input into where the product goes, not just how it gets built.

What I'm looking for
As a developer, I work leading frontend and mobile engineering across client teams, setting architecture and technical direction for React Native applications. I've shipped live auction, payments, authentication, pickup, and notification experiences for different clients, along with secure payment features for fintech applications.
I also lead research focused teams across topics like on-device AI, generative UI, OTA delivery, and mobile tooling, while building React Native training and mentoring engineers.
