About Me!

Building a mobile app is an exciting journey. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with diverse teams, which has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to build successful applications.

I am a Senior Mobile Engineer with over 8 years of experience developing high-quality cross-platform apps. Proficient in React Native, Node.js, Firebase, and native modules on iOS and Kotlin, I also bring strong expertise in scalable backend systems, RESTful APIs, and serverless architectures.

I am passionate about creating performant, user-centric mobile experiences and enjoy teaching others about mobile technologies, including speaking at conferences.

Here’s how I work differently:

  • ✓ I focus first on your business goals, not just the tech stack
  • ✓ I design and build scalable, user-friendly apps people actually enjoy using
  • ✓ I deliver early prototypes so you can validate the product before investing heavily
  • ✓ I provide ongoing support so your app keeps evolving and stays competitive

Recent work includes:

  • VocApp by AutoTune® – Pre-Daw Music Production App with 20K+ downloads and growing
  • Beanstack By Zoobean™ – Reading & education app with 500K+ downloads
  • Redeem Coupons By GoPro – Web App for a platform with millions of active users
  • GHX Seed Selector By Syngenta – Maximize Corn & Soybean Yield and Profit Potential with over 1K+ downloads
  • Woodward Logistics – Built internal apps to deliver a better user experience and improve internal processes

I typically work with businesses that want to:

  • → Reach more customers through mobile
  • → Turn an idea into a real, revenue-generating app
  • → Improve operations with custom-built solutions
  • → Stay competitive with modern, cloud-backed technology

If you’re planning to launch a mobile app — or if you already have one and want to take it to the next level — let’s talk about how to do it right.
