What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build mobile-first full-stack products and ship autonomous, cost-optimized AI features. I want a team that values clean architecture, experimentation, and real-world impact—plus chances to grow my technical leadership.

I’m a Full Stack Software Engineer and AI systems builder specializing in mobile development (Flutter/Dart) and backend architecture (Python/Django/PostgreSQL). I take products from concept to production, with multiple apps live on the Google Play Store, including Stratum and Number Your Days.

I’ve engineered autonomous AI agents that automate complex workflows—like B2B lead generation and job matching—by integrating LLMs, search APIs, and database logic. I focus on practical, clean architecture and token optimization so automation stays efficient and cost-aware.

I also mentor and train developers: I’ve delivered hands-on workshops on mobile (Kotlin) and how to integrate AI LLM endpoints into real applications. From local SMS parsing engines to secure cloud syncing and data categorization, I’m driven by shipping reliable solutions that solve real-world problems.
