About Me

Staff-level iOS engineer building scalable, reliable, and developer-friendly mobile platforms.

  • Architected and modernized Trips section at Priceline end-to-end — modular, performant, and production-ready in one month.
  • Improved crash-free rate to 99.98 % across a 1 M+ user base with better logging, analytics, and observability (Splunk, Instabug).
  • Drove CI/CD modernization using CircleCI + Fastlane + GitHub Actions → ~40 % less manual release overhead.
  • Introduced Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) for shared business logic across iOS & Android.
  • Mentored engineers, ran TDD / KMP workshops, and led platform-wide architectural discussions.

I focus on translating complex system goals into elegant, testable, and maintainable architectures — shipping faster without breaking things.

✨ Philosophy

"Build for clarity. Automate for confidence."
Great engineering isn't just about code — it's about systems that scale gracefully and empower people to build faster.
