I’m a software engineer with 4+ years of experience building production-grade mobile apps, full-stack systems, and DevOps solutions.
I specialize in Flutter and React Native for mobile, Go/ASP.NET Core for backend, and Docker + CI/CD for deployments.
Lately I’ve been integrating generative AI and LLMs into apps, from AI-powered journaling to conversational agents.
I focus on:
- Building performant, scalable systems with clean architecture.
- Delivering seamless user experiences.
- Automating everything possible in the dev pipeline.
- Experimenting with AI-assisted development and smart features.
12 merged pull requests across the Flutter, Dart and React Native ecosystems, reviewed and shipped by the teams that maintain them, including Google's core Flutter team.
