☺ About me

Nice to meet you

I build apps that feel effortless — even when the work behind them isn't.

8+ years of React Native and full-stack JavaScript, on everything from fintech wallets to native modules and shared component libraries. I care about the details: smooth interactions, tidy code, and interfaces that make your life easier.
