What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and growth in mobile development.

For the past 15+ years, I’ve been building consumer apps used by millions of people, from early MVPs to polished, Apple-featured products. I enjoy working across the full product surface, shaping ideas, designing experiences, and engineering systems that make them fast, reliable, and enjoyable to use.

My background is deeply rooted in iOS using Swift, SwiftUI, and UIKit, where I’ve led development end to end, including architecture, performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability. I care a lot about the details such as responsiveness, smooth interactions, and making complex features feel simple.

At the same time, I’m comfortable working beyond mobile. I build for the web, collaborate closely with backend systems, and take ownership of features from idea to production. I’m at my best when I can connect product thinking, design, and engineering into a cohesive whole. My work has been featured by Apple, presented at WWDC, and contributed to products reaching 1M+ users worldwide.

I enjoy working with product-driven teams that value thoughtful design, strong engineering, and shipping things that people actually use.
