I specialize in turning product ideas into reliable, production-ready features, from secure authentication and subscription flows to realtime computer-vision and pose/object detection for real-world fitness use cases. Along the way, I’ve optimized performance, memory, and frame rates, and worked in roles ranging from independent iOS development to CTO/contract leadership and early-stage startup collaboration—always focused on shipping fast without sacrificing quality.…
