AI product builder · Mobile first
Native iOS and Android, React Native, Node/TypeScript backends and the AI features inside them. Thirteen years of mobile engineering, now spent taking products from a brief to the App Store and Google Play, then running them.
Shipped products
Product, design, apps, backend, store releases and operations. Tap through the screens, then read how each was built.
AI recipes from what is already in your kitchen.
Photograph your ingredients or describe them, and Meal42 generates a recipe that fits your diet, cuisine and time. Designed, built, shipped and operated by one person.
A thousand living worlds you touch.
Mandalas that bloom, light you can draw, nebulas you can stir. Every world is hand-built in native code with GPU shaders, so it reacts the instant a finger lands. Native iOS and native Android, from one engineer.
What I build
Most products need all three. I have shipped each of them in production and prefer to own the seams between them.
LLM features that survive contact with real users, not just the demo.
Swift and Kotlin when the product needs native depth, React Native when one codebase is the right call.
Everything around the app that makes it a product, owned end to end.
How I work
The same four steps whether it is a feature inside a 50M+ user app or a new product from a one-page brief.
Step 1
Users, the version worth shipping, what we cut, and the success metric. Written down before code.
Step 2
A TestFlight or Play internal build every week. Progress you can tap, not status reports.
Step 3
AI agents scaffold, test and refactor under skill files and hooks I write. Every change reviewed before it ships.
Step 4
Store submission on an agreed date, then monitoring, incidents and a handover the next engineer can read.
About
I have spent thirteen years building mobile software: native iOS from Objective-C to SwiftUI, Android in Kotlin, and React Native where one codebase is the right call. For the last four of those I have led a team of 8+ engineers on a consumer platform used by more than 50 million people, where crash rates, release discipline and performance are the job.
Alongside that, I design and ship complete products on my own: the apps, the Node/TypeScript backend, the admin tools, the AI features, the store releases and the operations afterwards. AI coding agents are part of how I work every day, under skill files and hooks I write, with every change reviewed before it ships.
I write about what I build, break and learn, and I work with teams anywhere.
Selected work
Client names stay out where contracts ask for it. The problems, decisions and outcomes are all real.
Meal42 · Solo-built · AI
React Native apps, Node/TypeScript backend on Cloud Functions, admin panel, in-app purchases and twelve languages. A Gemini pipeline with validated outputs, retries, fallbacks and cost caps, operated by one person after launch.
MoteCraft · Solo-built · Native
SwiftUI with Metal on iOS, Kotlin with Compose and OpenGL ES on Android, a Firestore catalogue with version gating so shipped binaries never break, and a Pro tier. Two native codebases from one engineer.
Consumer scale
Led a team of 8+ engineers on a large-scale consumer app for iOS and Apple TV. Cut crash rates through profiling, instrumentation and CI quality gates, and owned the release pipeline end to end.
Fintech
PCI-compliant payment flows and card-terminal integration via the BBPOS SDK through React Native native bridges, with Fastlane CI/CD that cut release time by 20%.
Platform
Modular enterprise iOS SDKs for healthcare and fintech clients: OAuth2, secure REST integrations and automated CocoaPods and Swift Package distribution pipelines.
Hardware · Health
A BLE-connected fitness device app with offline-first sync and real-time analytics that lifted retention by 15%, and a vitals monitor rendering live ECG, SpO2 and temperature data from a medical sensor.
Healthcare
Queue management for healthcare facilities with live updates, deep linking and push notifications, built on Firebase.
Experience
Hands-on the whole way. Leading when the team needed it, building when the product did.
Consulting (client under NDA)
Leading a team of 8+ engineers on a large-scale consumer app with millions of daily active users on iOS and Apple TV, serving 50M+ users globally. Modular architecture, coding standards and the release pipeline.
eInfochips
Enterprise iOS SDKs for healthcare and fintech clients. Scalable APIs and modular SDKs adopted by 3+ partner apps, with OAuth2 and secure RESTful integrations.
Aubergine Solutions
Fitness app with BLE device integrations and an offline-first architecture for real-time analytics. Performance optimization and state management.
Azoi Mobile Technologies
Body-vitals monitoring app integrating ECG, SpO2 and temperature sensors via BLE. Sensor validation modules and real-time data visualization.
iMobDev Technologies
Delivered 10+ consumer iOS apps and games with profiling, memory analysis and optimization.
Skills
Depth in mobile, working fluency everywhere else a product needs it.
Writing
What I build, break and learn, written for engineers and the people who hire them.
Contact
A brief, a prototype or a team that needs a senior pair of hands. Email is fastest; I reply within a day.
