Developing AI-powered journaling experiences across iOS, Android, and web using React Native and TypeScript. Building journaling workflow UI components and wiring asynchronous service interactions into maintainable client state. Implementing Python backend functionality with SQLAlchemy and AWS to support evolving data models and secure service boundaries, including OPAQUE zero-knowledge authentication for sensitive journal content. Connecting mood tracking and self-improvement features to structured journal data so user input and generated feedback remain clear. Supporting Docker-based development and AWS CI/CD, and using PyTest for backend verification to support App Store and Play Store release readiness.

Enhanced consulting-client web and native application experiences using Ruby on Rails, Turbo, Hotwire, and Stimulus. Refactored application initialization and native startup behavior to address Xcode warnings while preserving compatibility across existing workflows. Developed modular Ruby web interfaces and JavaScript interactions optimized for mobile use, supporting maintenance and incremental modernization in established architectures. Collaborated on Ruby API development and legacy modernization, translating mobile interface requirements into backend functionality and communicating tradeoffs with client stakeholders.

Designed a language-agnostic backend foundation for an AI-enabled consumer mobile application, combining JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, and Swift integration requirements into an evolvable service architecture. Developed and integrated 30+ APIs for a consumer technology application, mapping backend capabilities to mobile workflows with clear boundaries between client interactions and service responsibilities. Integrated TensorFlow/Keras functionality into application services and considered how model outputs would be consumed by the mobile product. Configured server and infrastructure needs for early-stage deployment alongside API development.
