About
I'm a tech lead and senior software engineer with over seven years building and scaling products across Android, iOS, and Web. I joined Quantum Coherence as the founding engineer, shipped the first product from an empty repository, and grew from leading frontend into owning backend, infrastructure, and architecture. I now lead all engineering there and manage a team of four.
That widening scope is the throughline of my work. I started in Flutter, took on Node and MongoDB alongside the CTO, moved into AWS and Azure infrastructure, and picked up Python when we built our AI chatbot. I like the parts of the job where architecture meets delivery: systems a team can move quickly in, release pipelines that make shipping unremarkable, and the review culture that keeps both honest.
Alongside that I'm the founder of Vobbin, an AI health coach live on iOS and Android, where I built the product and lead engineering end to end. I also created and maintain Fabrik, an open-source Flutter toolkit adopted by other engineering teams.
Outside building products, I make videos about things I can't stop thinking about: technology, startups, science, health, cinema, and the useful ideas that connect them.

Joined as the founding engineer and built the first product from scratch. Grew from leading frontend into owning backend, infrastructure, and architecture, and now lead all engineering at the company.
What I did (10)
- Founding engineer: built and shipped the company's first Flutter app to Android, iOS, and Web, establishing the engineering foundation from an empty repository.
- Now lead all engineering as Tech Lead, owning architecture, infrastructure, and deployments across multiple products, and managing a team of 4 developers.
- Worked directly with the CTO on backend from the start (Node, MongoDB, AWS), widening from frontend lead into full-stack and platform ownership.
- Built an internal admin panel in Flutter Web, giving the team self-serve control over content and operations.
- Led frontend and the frontend team for the company's second product, while taking on a growing share of backend design and delivery.
- Integrated an AI chatbot across both apps, then took on development of the chatbot service itself (Python, Azure, AWS).
- Built high-performance audio/video streaming players forming the core of the product experience, plus real-time video calls, analytics, and engagement tools.
- Scaled products to 50K+ users and 4.7★ ratings by driving data-informed decisions with Mixpanel and Amplitude for engagement and RevenueCat for subscription revenue.
- Established CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Fastlane, Codemagic) for automated testing and multi-environment deployments.
- Run bi-weekly release cycles with <24-hour bug turnaround by applying DDD and SOLID principles, and enforce code quality through PR reviews.
