I’m a full stack developer with 12+ years of engineering experience specializing in designing, building, managing, and maintaining production-ready iOS and Android applications.

I build production-grade iOS and Android apps for clients who need polish, reliability, and a developer who ships. 5+ years, 14 deployed apps, full-stack mobile, native + cross-platform.
My team and I design, build, and launch mobile apps across:
- Native iOS (Swift, SwiftUI)
- Native Android (Kotlin)
- Cross-platform (Flutter, React Native)
- Backend & cloud (Node.js, Firebase, AWS/EC2, REST APIs)
- Payments & marketplaces (Stripe, provider payouts, dual-sided platforms)
- AI integration (OpenAI API, GPT-powered features in mobile apps)
- Hardware & connectivity (Bluetooth LE)
- Health & fitness apps (workout tracking, coaching platforms, content programs)
What I bring:
- A working app on the App Store and Google Play — not a half-built prototype
- Clean, maintainable architecture any future developer can pick up and extend
- Honest communication: if your budget and scope don't match, I'll tell you up front and help you choose
- US-based project management, so you get one point of contact who speaks your language and your timezone
How I work:
I'm the founder of a small US-based studio. I run your project personally — architecture, scoping, UX, QA, release — and draw on a hand-picked team of developers, designers, and QA engineers for execution. That gives you the oversight and communication of a US contractor with the cost profile of a global team.
Typical projects:
Marketplace and on-demand apps · health, fitness, and wellness apps · AI-powered mobile products · apps with hardware or payment integrations · greenfield builds from idea to launch · rescue or cleanup of existing mobile codebases.
If you have an idea you want built right — or an app that's stuck and needs someone to unstick it — let's talk.
