About

Senior AI, Full-Stack & Mobile Engineer

Six-plus years building production-ready products across AI, full-stack, and mobile — from AI-powered features to web platforms and cross-platform apps.

Senior software engineer building production-ready products across AI, full-stack, and mobile development. Six-plus years delivering scalable systems, cross-platform apps, and AI-enabled features across Web, iOS, Android, and Desktop.

I integrate AI — OpenAI, Claude, and RAG — into real product workflows, not demos. On the backend I build Next.js and NestJS services, PostgreSQL data models, serverless AWS, and Stripe/RevenueCat billing. On mobile I ship React Native and Expo apps from MVP architecture through App Store and Google Play release. I've delivered client-facing products for e-commerce, telehealth, EdTech, and AI-powered SaaS.

I lead technical work end to end, own architecture decisions, mentor engineers, and keep quality high with clean architecture, performance budgets, and tested releases — across the AI, backend, and mobile surfaces of a product.

What sets me apart
  • AI, Full-Stack & Mobile

    AI-powered features, Next.js/NestJS backends, and React Native apps built end to end — shipped to the web, App Store, and Google Play.

  • Clean Architecture

    Monorepos, design systems, and typed contracts that hold up as teams and products grow.

Senior Strengths
  • Performance by Default

    Web Vitals kept high, mobile UI latency profiled, bundle size kept lean. Speed is a feature.

  • Senior-Level Ownership

    I own technical decisions end to end, mentor engineers, run code reviews, and unblock product.

Selected Work

Production apps and platforms I've shipped

Real products across Web, iOS, Android, and Desktop — full-stack platforms and cross-platform apps, deployed to the web, App Store, and Google Play, and running in production.

How I Work

From scope to a shipped product

A clear, senior process that keeps serious product work predictable — no surprises, no big-bang reveals.

  1. 01

    Discovery & Scope

    Understand the product, the users, and the constraints. Agree on what we are building, what "done" means, and where the real risks are.

  2. 02

    Architecture & Planning

    Choose the platforms, stack, and data model deliberately. Plan the mobile and backend architecture so it holds up as the product grows.

  3. 03

    Iterative Development

    Ship in reviewable increments with regular check-ins. You see working software early and often — not one big reveal at the end.

  4. 04

    Testing & Quality

    Real end-to-end checks, performance budgets, and edge-case handling before sign-off — so shipped features do not silently break.

  5. 05

    Deployment & Handover

    App Store and Google Play submission, production deployment, and a clean handover with documentation so your team can run it confidently.
