Every platform, end to end.
Mobile, desktop and web: I led all of BlueMail’s client work. That meant moving it from separate native apps to one React Native codebase spread over several repositories, writing the native code that makes an email app feel at home on each platform, and preparing the release builds for every store.

Deep native integration
Swift and Kotlin wherever the product needed it: notifications, widgets, background execution and more.
Features end to end
Core product features from design to production, from the add-account flow to the message view.
Every client in step
iOS, Android, Electron desktop and the React web client, kept consistent as the product grew.
Architecture
Shaped how the client codebase is structured, so new features land cleanly on every platform.
Builds & hiring

AI features that hold up in production.
- LLM APIs on AWS Bedrock and OpenAI
- AI features shipped in client products
- TensorFlow models running in React Native
In the workflow
Agentic development, with a human in the loop.
- Daily work with coding agents like Claude Code
- Custom skills for review, shipping and debugging
- Multi-agent workflows for larger changes
- Verification before anything merges
Built with discipline. Delivered with calm.
Products for startups, a global nonprofit and teams in the field.

TypeApp
BlueMail’s sister email app at Blix, on iOS and Android. Built on the same client platform, so I carried the architecture, native modules and release builds across both apps.
