About

I’m a results-driven Senior iOS Engineer with 10+ years of experience building high-impact mobile applications for millions of users. I specialize in Swift, SwiftUI, clean architecture, Concurrency, reactive programming, CI/CD, testing & quality, and technical leadership. I also have experience with Flutter for cross-platform development and migrating legacy codebases to Flutter to unlock new capabilities. I love turning complex problems into clean, scalable solutions and mentoring teammates to grow their skills.

I’m passionate about leveraging emerging technologies like AI, multimedia, AR, and Bluetooth to drive growth and exceptional user experiences. I’ve led cross-functional teams, shipped revenue-critical features, and helped scale products for large marketplaces and medical/retail domains. I enjoy collaborating with product and design to deliver user-centric features while improving code quality and maintainability.
