About
I'm a senior iOS engineer with thirteen years of end-to-end mobile engineering across startups, unicorns and Fortune 500 clients. I architect and ship: modular SDKs, CI/CD automation, performance tuning, and modern Swift. I'm also known for a designer's eye — pixel-perfect, considered interfaces, with real opinions about color and hierarchy.
I've led a 12-person mobile team, built hiring and training pipelines, and taken products from zero to the App Store. I guest lecture on Algorithms & Data Structures and Object-Oriented Design.
Lately I've been building with AI — and learning it the way I learn anything, by building real things and showing the work: a Socratic tutor that grades me on evidence, an open-source agent SDK, and Akshara, a conversational platform for schools.
