Bio

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with a passion for building thoughtful, reliable apps—on both the screen and behind the scenes. With years of experience crafting mobile experiences across iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS, I’ve expanded my focus to include server-side development, where I bring a user-first mindset to backend systems.

Currently working at DNA.inc, I thrive at the intersection of design, performance, and architecture. I also teach the Server-Side Swift module twice a year as part of the Mobile Bootcamp at KeepCoding, helping up-and-coming developers learn how to build and deploy Swift-powered APIs.

I enjoy sharing and teaching what I learn—especially when it helps others bridge the gap between frontend and backend thinking.

When I’m not coding, I love going to music festivals, recharging in nature while camping with my caravan, and getting lost in epic fantasy books.
