I've always believed the best software doesn't just work, it feels right. That belief is what pushed me beyond writing clean code into obsessing over the full picture: the architecture underneath, the interface on top, and the person trying to accomplish something in between. At Toyota, I got a front-row seat to what it means to build software at scale, systems that thousands of people depend on, where a careless decision ripples outward. It taught me to think in tradeoffs, to care about what I ship, and to take ownership of outcomes, not just deliverables. But my real education happened after hours. I built Lucid, an AI-powered music app from 0 to production. Not because it was assigned to me, but because I heard a problem worth solving: music creation is intimidating, gatekept by technical knowledge most people don't have. Lucid strips that away. React Native on the front, Supabase Edge Functions in the back, Suno AI doing the heavy lifting underneath. I designed every screen. I made every call. I shipped it. That project taught me something I couldn't learn on the job: what it feels like to care deeply about a product you built entirely yourself. I'm drawn to teams where engineering and product thinking aren't separate departments — where the person writing the code also asks why it's being built and who it's being built for. I take design seriously. I think Dieter Rams was right. And I believe the engineers who build the best products are the ones who never stop being curious users themselves. If you're building something that matters and need someone who can own it end to end — let's talk.
• Shipped 2 production mobile apps (FocusFi, Lucid) to iOS App Store and Google Play with 500+ combined downloads; architected full-stack systems using React Native, Next.js, Supabase, and Stripe payment integration. • Built LLM-driven learning and audio-generation pipelines processing 1,000+ user interactions/day through background workers, caching layers, structured outputs, and monitoring instrumentation. • Implemented serverless backend architecture with Supabase Edge Functions handling AI music generation, payment processing (iOS StoreKit 2 & Google Play Billing), and rate limiting; reduced infrastructure costs by 80% vs traditional server deployment. • Designed fault-tolerant authentication, subscription, and webhook processing systems supporting crossplatform mobile distribution.
