I'm a software engineer with a passion for mobile app development. I've been using React Native for the past 8 years and along the way, I've had the pleasure of working with some amazing companies and teams.
I've shipped React Native apps that have served 2M users at Solid Starts , contributed to one of the most popular React Native boilerplates at Infinite Red and I continue to deliver high-quality mobile apps for clients in fintech, healthcare, and other industries.
When I'm not writing code, I enjoy traveling, walking my dog Nata and photography.

With my proficiency in React Native, I've greatly enhanced Honeycomb Labs' app navigation performance, delivering a lag-free experience. Integral to this role was moving several animations to reanimated while leveraging worklets to not block the UI thread. I've also optimized a lot of React components that were re-rendering unnecessarily causing a drastic drop in FPS.
I instructed students in creating full-stack applications with React, Node.js, and TypeScript. I assisted them with final projects, offering guidance on building scalable, maintainable applications. Additionally, I supported students in their job search, providing advice on developing a robust portfolio and resume.
Infinite Red is one of the top React Native consultancies in the world. I work on a variety of client projects, including mobile apps for iOS and Android, as well as web applications. I also contribute to open source projects such as Ignite and write blog posts and tutorials.
Uplet is an airbnb-like platform that allows fitness professionals to book spaces for their classes. I co-founded the company and led the development of the mobile application. I also managed a team of engineers and worked closely with the product and design teams. Finally, I helped raise a seed round of $400,000.
Solid Starts is a mobile app that provides parents with evidence-based information on introducing solid foods to their babies. The app is built with React Native and uses AWS services for data storage and authentication. I was responsible for the development of the app and the backend services. I also trained and mentored a team of junior developers.

Ignite Bowser is one of the most popular React Native boilerplates out there. I have maintained this project along with other core members of Infinite Red. Notably, I upgraded the navigation library for React Navigation V4 to V6 which involved a complete re-write of the navigation structure due to breaking API changes.
