Full stack developer with 10+ years building production applications in TypeScript/JavaScript across React, React Native and Vue, alongside backend development in PHP/Laravel. I’ve architected REST APIs for web and mobile, shipped a React Native app with 30,000 monthly active users, and bring end-to-end ownership from API and deployment through to frontend implementation and UI translation from Figma/design tools. AI is a core part of my workflow: using Claude Code to scaffold and refactor production code with tests and reviews, and building LLM-driven automation into real systems—most notably an automated social moderation pipeline. I’m comfortable working solo with autonomy, mentoring teams, and stepping into DevOps responsibilities to keep releases reliable.…Full stack developer with 10+ years building production applications in TypeScript/JavaScript across React, React Native and Vue, alongside backend development in PHP/Laravel.

Wiz Media Lead Developer at FUTWIZ

July 1, 2024 - Present

Joined as a solo developer with significant autonomy. Architected and built a Laravel-powered REST API from the ground up to serve both the web platform and mobile applications (pattern applied across multiple products). Developed and launched the FUTWIZ Career Mode App on iOS and Android using React Native (initially Ionic React, later fully rebuilt in React Native for improved performance). The app provides fast on-the-go access to player data from the game; launched on 2024-10-19 and reached 30,000 monthly active users. Built key retention features including saved searches, a team builder, and customizable layouts. As the team scaled in mid-2025, transitioned into a Development Manager role—gathering community/team feedback, creating tickets, coordinating two additional developers, and leading a full site rebuild delivered in three months with continuing feature delivery from 2025-11 onward while still contributing directly.
