About

I’m a product engineer based in San Diego with 6+ years of experience shipping mobile and web products using React Native, React, and TypeScript—from Figma to App Store releases. I’ve owned end-to-end features for a social-commerce app with 10,000+ active users and a fintech product serving 100,000+ cardholders, and I’m comfortable making fast, pragmatic technical decisions that still keep code clean, tested, and secure.

I founded a React/React Native consultancy and have built and published multiple App Store apps as a solo engineer, including one that generates recurring revenue. I also integrate LLMs and AI-driven workflows into production systems, with backend experience in Node.js, GraphQL, SQL, Supabase, and AWS—so I can build AI features that actually work in real apps, not just demos.
