About Me.
I build mobile and AI products for US and UK companies.
Ten years in, most of that time in React Native — plus native Swift and Kotlin when a project needs it. I've shipped apps to the App Store and Play Store across healthcare, fitness, IoT, events and ticketing, including HIPAA-adjacent products where the compliance side mattered as much as the code.
The last two years have pulled me toward AI. I've built LLM features into production apps — RAG pipelines over client data, agentic workflows, chat interfaces — using OpenAI, Anthropic Claude and AWS Bedrock. Most of that work is less about the model and more about the plumbing around it: retrieval quality, cost control, and making the thing behave predictably in front of real users.
On the backend I work in Node.js, NestJS and Next.js, with PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
I take on senior contract work, usually alongside existing teams — architecture through release, not just tickets.

MVP Launch
Simple first versions that help you launch quickly and learn fast. Scope kept tight so you get something real in front of users instead of a long roadmap.

A reliable foundation so your product stays stable as more users join. Secure auth, clean APIs, and databases that hold up under real traffic.

Helpful AI features with OpenAI that feel useful, natural, and on-brand — not a chatbot bolted onto the corner of your product.
