Summary
Software engineer with 5+ years of experience in high-performance development, clean architecture and secure app delivery. I ship products end to end and work comfortably across time zones. Most of my career has been mobile and web3: self-custodial wallets, NFT marketplaces and now AI coaching. On my own time I build Mac apps, browser games and content pipelines with AI.
