I solve software problems. Right now, the most interesting ones involve AI.

Engineer first.
Everything else second.

14+
Years experience
10+
Domains shipped

For the past 14 years, mobile has been my craft. I've built applications natively on Android and iOS, and cross-platform using Flutter and React Native — shipped across 10+ domains.

Depending on the engagement, I've led teams and defined engineering standards, and on others worked as an individual contributor embedded within a client's existing team — involved from inception to delivery.

What I've learned across all of it is that the technology is rarely the real problem. Understanding the system underneath — how it's structured, where it breaks, and why — that's what actually matters. That judgment comes from years of delivering software within the constraints that actually exist.

Right now I'm focused on helping teams solve problems that involve AI — because that's where the most interesting engineering challenges are. The foundation is still the same: understand the problem first, then find the right solution.

I work with software teams who need to ship — whether that's building a product from scratch, leveling up their engineering practice, or putting AI to work in ways that actually hold up in production.

Development

Product Development

End-to-end software delivery — from early architecture to a production-ready product. I work across mobile and web, choosing the platform that fits the problem, not the other way around.

  • Native Android & iOS
  • Flutter & React Native
  • Web Apps & PWAs
Consulting

Technical Consulting & Architecture

When a team needs someone who has seen enough to ask the right questions. I embed with engineering teams to bring clarity to architecture, process, and delivery — without disrupting what's already working.

  • CI/CD & DevOps Pipelines
  • Code Quality & Engineering Process
AI Build

AI Feature & Product Development

Building AI into a product is a different discipline than building a product. I help teams scope what's feasible, pick the right models and APIs, and ship AI features that hold up beyond the demo.

  • RAG Systems & Knowledge Bases
  • AI-Powered Features & Agents
AI Workflow

AI Engineering Workflow Integration

Adopting AI tools is easy. Making them reliable inside an existing engineering process isn't. I help teams move past the experimentation phase — right tools, right touchpoints, right guardrails.

Let's talk

If you have a software problem — whether it's building something new, improving what you have, or figuring out where AI fits — I'm happy to have a conversation. No pitch deck, no pressure. Just an honest discussion about whether I can help.
