What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end product work across mobile and web—especially building core modules, improving performance and reliability, integrating tracking/data, and delivering polished user experiences with strong execution.

I bring extensive end-to-end experience across front-end and mobile development, independently building and shipping multiple applications, including an interactive video social platform and an AI virtual character chat app. I’ve served as core developer and technical lead, owning core module design, performance optimization, and cross-platform coordination to deliver complete business implementations.

I’m especially strong at solving complex technical problems independently and turning business requirements into practical solutions that improve user experience—through work like modularized iOS/Flutter architectures, data & tracking integration, and targeted performance fixes. Highlights include reducing handwriting storage usage by 80% with a custom compression algorithm, achieving 95% DOI/title/author recognition accuracy, and delivering tools like a Zotero plugin and gesture-driven iOS/macOS apps that reached real user adoption.
