The person behind the work
An engineer.
A product person.
I care about making apps that are useful, feel natural to use, and are built to last. My experience spans consumer entertainment, video conferencing, retail, and communication, with roles at VIZ Media, Visionable, KWI, and TextNow.
I work with Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, and Objective-C. I’m comfortable taking ownership of a whole app or working alongside a team on the part that needs attention.
