About

Senior engineering, product-first.

I'm a Software Engineering Expert (Tech Lead) focused on React and React Native, with experience building mobile applications and leading teams through complex technical challenges.

I've also been involved in initiatives around AI-assisted development and innovation, helping teams adopt new tools and ways of working in a practical, real-world way.

Beyond delivery, I enjoy mentoring, sharing knowledge, and contributing to the growth of other developers.

I'm especially interested in digging into complex problems, understanding how things work under the hood, and building solutions that hold up in real-world scenarios.
