Senior Mobile Platform Engineer | Android, iOS & React Native | Kotlin Multiplatform | Architecture, Builds & Reliability

About

I build the platforms mobile teams ship on: shared architecture, build systems, native/React Native integration, observability and release tooling. I’ve spent six years working across Android, iOS and React Native, shipping production Kotlin, Swift and TypeScript. At Licious, I joined for Android and expanded into iOS and the shared mobile platform. I created 12 of the app’s 13 modules and built a startup measurement package that eight other engineers have since used to ship seven additional trackers. I’ve also built products from the ground up. As Alle’s founding Android engineer, I shipped its first Play Store release in two weeks. At Powerplay, I migrated the Android codebase entirely from Java to Kotlin and built its in-app chat product. My projects include a Kotlin Multiplatform port of DOOM, with one Compose codebase running on Android, iOS, desktop and the web.
