Built BLE sensor integration for soil probes; wrote calibration logic to derive texture and salinity, and a PDF pipeline for grower reports. Implemented polygon drawing on Mapbox and Google Maps so farmers can outline plots and bind sensor data and crop cycles to each field boundary.

Contract Mobile Engineer (Part-time) at MyReport®

January 1, 2026 - April 1, 2026

Contract delivery of MyReport® for a UK client — an AI-assisted reporting platform for building surveyors, live on iOS and iPad. Built offline-first capture with online sync so surveyors can record reports anywhere and reconcile cleanly. Integrated AI image analysis, smart-assist chatbot, and voice-to-text to cut report-writing time, plus annotation and cloud storage.

Lead Engineer — Personal Project at stream.fun

January 1, 2025 - Present

Lead engineer on stream.fun, a live-streaming creator economy with on-chain trading, token launches, and TikTok-style gifting (~90% complete, pre-launch). Integrated Privy embedded wallets so non-crypto-native users can stream, gift, and trade without seed-phrase friction. Built real-time WebSocket pipelines feeding live price charts, token activity, and viewer gifting events with sub-second latency. Implemented MoonPay fiat on-ramp and on-chain token-launch flows so creators can mint and trade their own tokens directly inside streams.

Team Lead, React Native at Block Mob

Led a team of 4 engineers delivering Gaya Wallet end-to-end — drove architecture, code review, sprint planning, and release. Shipped a multi-chain self-custody wallet reaching 125k+ users across iOS and Android with $2M+ in on-chain trade volume. Built the Solana stack on @solana/web3.js — keypair signing, versioned transactions, priority fees, compute budget tuning, with Helius and QuickNode failover. Integrated Jupiter for Solana swaps and WalletConnect v2 for EVM (Ethereum, BSC), covering send / receive, token search, and full transaction history. Hardened private key handling with iOS Keychain and Android Keystore behind biometric gating; built secure import and recovery flows. Recovered a critical production crash: Android crash-free sessions from 24% to 98.9% via ProGuard rules, native edge-to-edge fixes, and 16KB page-size compatibility. iOS held at 99.8%.

React Native Engineer at Hegemonics Inc

Built a Lotería Mexicana card game with TTS-driven calling, multi-theme decks, user-selectable app icons, and one-time IAP via RevenueCat. Shipped an enterprise waste-management app used by 5 sub-companies, ~90 drivers, and 40–50 dumpsters across varying sizes. Wrote a custom Kotlin native bridge for the Mapbox Navigation Native SDK to deliver turn-by-turn routing, plus background location for live truck telemetry.
