What I do
End-to-end engineering across the stack. Deep expertise on native platforms, AI integration, and production backends.
[01]
Native iOS & SDK
Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, AVFoundation, HealthKit, Live Activities, Widgets. SDK architecture for consumer and enterprise.
- Greenfield apps & SDK modularization
- System-level architecture & migrations
- App Store rollout & release discipline
[02]
AI integration
Multi-provider LLM abstractions, agentic workers, on-device ML, MCP servers, and production AI pipelines.
- 6+ frontier model vendors integrated
- Headless Claude Code in Docker
- Per-workload model selection
[03]
Backend & infrastructure
Python/FastAPI, Go, Rust, TypeScript. Supabase / Postgres, GCP Cloud Run, Docker, GitHub Actions, Xcode Cloud.
- API design & realtime systems
- Cost-optimization & observability
- CI/CD pipelines end-to-end

- Designed and shipped the multi-provider LLM abstraction over six frontier model vendors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, xAI, DeepSeek) — a single typed interface with per-workload model selection (frontier models for analysis, small/fast models for short-form generation).
- Led the codebase-wide migration off ObservableObject to the @Observable framework — 56 singleton classes rolled out in disciplined tiers — and the parallel migration to type-safe feature gates via a generated enum surface.
- Unified nine legacy camera implementations into a single CaptureViewController on UIKit + AVFoundation: hot-add audio sessions, share-flow integration, photo-only mode, and protocol-ID normalization across upload paths.
- Owned the cross-cutting iOS infrastructure: structured logging via os.log, error observability with a typed fingerprint enum (preventing Sentry duplicate-issue sprawl), theme system, notification navigation queue, and the iOS-26 / Liquid Glass forward-compatibility design rules.
- Built an autonomous DevOps agent end-to-end: Discord slash-commands and error-tracker / bug-report webhooks → headless Claude Code in Docker → draft pull requests against the iOS and backend repos. Plus Xcode Cloud build tracking, App Store review monitoring, and continuous feature-gate validation reporting.
- Authored the team's engineering handbook the codebase builds against — singleton policy, SwiftUI body-size discipline, Combine-over-NotificationCenter rule, enum-over-raw-string conventions, and iOS-26 forward-compatibility design constraints.

- Built the Core foundation module from scratch — five service abstractions (configuration, retry-aware networking, telemetry, dependency discovery, and keychain-backed settings) — then drove a single-source-of-truth migration so every consumer in the SDK reads from Core.
- Established the per-module template pattern: a typed seven-step sequence (data types → errors → conversions → service → entry point → adapter → legacy cleanup) that every subsequent feature module followed. Pioneered the proof-of-concept module; twelve more shipped to the same shape.
- Extracted Core as a standalone Swift Package consumed by the SDK and by externally-released modules. Replaced erased Any returns across the xcframework boundary with type-safe protocol APIs that build cleanly in downstream native targets.
- Built the mock-testing infrastructure that unblocked per-module unit tests — a Core protocol plus a mock implementation that lets each module's tests run without instantiating live dependencies.

impact
- Earned the company's first US work visa sponsorship in its history — granted in recognition of cross-functional impact across the iOS surface, the shared framework family, and the cross-platform data layer.
- Owned or co-owned consumer-facing features end-to-end: Tap-to-Tag, Tags 2.0, Body Clock & Chronotype, SpO2 variance charts, the Explore tab, App Shortcuts 2.0, the in-app Help redesign, and the Bedtime / Body Clock / scores / heartbeat widgets.
- Led a statistically-driven personalized-insight system built on a Welch's t-test implementation, packaged as a Swift Package and progressively peeled out of the monolith into the shared tools framework.
- Contributed to a cross-platform schema source that codegens GRDB models for iOS, Room/Realm for Android, Pydantic for the backend, and JSONSchema TS for the web — single schema, consistent generated code for every consumer.
- Drove Xcodegen → Tuist build migration and Carthage / CocoaPods retirement in favor of Swift Package Manager.

- Shipped two greenfield apps in parallel sprints — a consumer-facing studio booking app with Stripe-powered course reservations, and an internal project-management surface with timeline, members, and deep-linking.
- Owned Apollo iOS / GraphQL integration including the apollo-cli codegen build phase, per-screen typed queries, and a domain-type rename pass to peel screen code off raw Apollo types.
- Built the Stripe SDK integration end-to-end: card-scanning camera entry, environment-aware publishable keys (dev / staging / production isolation), and the full booking → reserve → cart → confirmation flow.
- Set up Fastlane lanes for TestFlight distribution with Slack notifications; managed AppIcon, launch screens, and provisioning across both projects.

- Owned the subscription flow end-to-end: redesigned paywall surface, StoreKit IAP purchase/restore logic, App Store Connect product identifiers across pricing iterations, and a rate-limit-based soft paywall on free-tier tools.
- Led the authentication overhaul to add Apple Sign-In (the Apple-required alternative to social sign-in), retained Facebook and email paths, and removed Instagram OAuth after Instagram restricted third-party access.
- Drove the full dark-mode rollout to iOS 13 parity, the Card-layout refactor across Home and Stats surfaces, and the Audience Sentiment / Follower Growth redesigns.
- Carried the engagement through the brand migration (rename of the source tree, App Store Connect listing, and asset pipeline) into the App Store-ready relaunch build.
