I build React and React Native apps that ship fast, scale well, and don't fall apart six months later.
9 years of production experience. Shipped to tens of thousands of users. Trusted by the people who've worked with me closest.
I'm a software engineer with close to a decade of experience building products for US-based startups and companies. I started at Bushel Technologies, growing from engineer to technical lead across nonprofit, healthcare, and real estate products.
In 2025 I moved into full-time independent consulting, partnering with early-stage and established companies on mobile and web.
I care deeply about code quality, developer experience, and building things that actually last. I write about React, mobile engineering, and the realities of building software as an independent consultant.
What can i do for you?
Mobile Development
React Native apps built for performance, maintainability, and a smooth user experience. From greenfield builds to improving existing apps.
Web Development
React, Next.js, and Astro for fast, modern web applications and admin portals. Clean architecture and attention to detail throughout.
DevOps & Process
CD pipelines, GitHub workflows, cloud infrastructure optimization, and development processes that make shipping easier and more reliable.
Technical Leadership
Architecture reviews, hands-on team leadership, mentorship, and engineering strategy for teams that need a senior perspective without a full-time hire.

Let's Work Together?
I'm selective about the projects I take on. I work with startups that care about craft and want a technical partner who thinks like a founder.
If you're building a web or mobile product and want someone who brings both design sensibility and technical depth, let's talk.
