What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can lead projects and mentor others.

I'm a Swiss Army knife software engineer with formal design training. I've worked as a senior product engineer in most of the globally distributed teams I've been on.

I’ve done some open-source.

From enabling on-device audio file transcriptions for a popular react-native library:

https://github.com/react-native-voice/voice/pull/409

to fixing a weeks-old bug that had thousands of developers pressing Ctrl+C twice to quit a popular AWS CLI tool:

https://github.com/sst/sst/pull/1439

I feel my breadth and attention to UI detail shine through olog’s iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/olog/id1562241111;

designed and built it single-handedly from backend to front!

Here are two short videos of work I recently took from concept to implementation:

An app walkthrough you wouldn’t believe was made with code:

Why can’t Android users have nice things?

I gave them an iOS-style wheel-picker:

Here’s a recent recommendation I received from my last Head of Product:

Would love to help move the needle for you!

If you haven’t had enough, here’s a 10-minute video of recent work I’m proud of:
