I'm an AI-accelerated senior full-stack product engineer and founder with a passion for shipping production-grade software across web, mobile and cloud platforms. I excel at turning ambiguous requirements into MVPs and stabilizing complex systems without disrupting operations. I pair strong engineering judgment with spec-driven, AI-accelerated workflows to deliver reliable software and empower teams with clear architecture and guardrails. I collaborate across health-tech, civic/geospatial intelligence, immersive cultural-tech and enterprise contexts, delivering end-to-end solutions from product brief to deployment and handover. I rely on React/TypeScript, Node.js, Flutter/React Native, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Firebase, Docker and CI/CD, while embracing human-owned architecture and security decisions to maintain high quality and steady delivery cadence.
