Building at the Intersection of Mobile & AI
From 50M+ user platforms to solo-shipped AI products
Senior iOS + AI Engineer & Technical Leader
14+ years building scalable mobile applications that serve millions of users. I ship production iOS apps in Swift and SwiftUI, cross-platform products in React Native, and AI-powered features that users actually use — not just demo well.
Led teams of 8+ engineers on a large-scale OTT streaming platform serving 50M+ users, improving application resilience by 30% and reducing onboarding time by 40%. Built and shipped a complete AI-powered product solo — from ideation to App Store — using AI agents for end-to-end development, backend, and deployment.
My sweet spot is the intersection of mobile and AI: on-device ML with Core ML, LLM integration in mobile apps, and building full-stack AI products. I write about what I build, break, and learn.
