Founder & lead developer building AI-driven mobile and web experiences with strong UI, backend, and test automation.
LatviaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a founder and lead developer who builds cross-platform products and reliable systems—from product features to automation. With Lockin, I designed and built an AI Workout feature using Google ML Kit pose detection for real-time, on-device exercise verification, plus automatic rep counting using state-machine logic and confidence thresholds to reduce miscounts.
Previously, I’ve been a frontend and fullstack software developer, creating customer-facing AI chatbot UI, tools and MCPs for support agents, and analytics/reporting with D3.js. At Aico.ai, I focused on end-to-end automated testing with Playwright, revamped system test frameworks, and delivered secure MSAL-protected SPA authentication approaches, while contributing VueJS/TypeScript and .NET development and other product prototypes.
