I'm a Senior Mobile Engineer with 8+ years of experience building Android and iOS apps that have reached 20M+ downloads. I work with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Kotlin Multiplatform, applying Clean Architecture to ship scalable products from concept to production.

I've led teams, modernized legacy codebases, and shipped 20+ apps to the Play Store and App Store, and I'm always looking for the next ambitious mobile product to build.
