What I own

Five things I'm accountable for

The role sits where deep technical execution meets engineering leadership. These are co-equal - I don't trade one off to do another.

01

Platform & Architecture

Modernization and large migrations, multi-module architecture, and honest cross-platform tradeoffs - native vs. KMP vs. Compose Multiplatform - chosen for the problem, not the trend.

02

Performance & Reliability

Crash-free sessions, ANRs, startup latency and memory treated as SLOs, not afterthoughts - backed by profiling, observability, and a testing discipline that holds at release.

03

Security & Compliance

Now leading Mobile/Android AppSec - running an OWASP Mobile Top 10 audit across our apps. Content protection and hardening owned end-to-end, in HIPAA/GDPR-aligned environments.

04

AI-First Engineering

Lead a small AI Initiative team embedding AI-assisted engineering into the SDLC - AI-augmented dev workflows, agentic coding, and self-hosted LLM tooling - to raise throughput and review quality across the mobile org.

05

Leadership & Delivery

Lead Android, iOS & QA - 10+ engineers - through sprint planning, retros, hiring and mentoring, growing senior ICs into tech leads. I run CI/CD and release engineering so delivery stays predictable while platform health keeps improving. Comfortable debating architecture credibly with staff engineers and deciding when to invest in platform vs. product.

Experience

Nine years, three companies, one throughline: take legacy mobile platforms and make them fast, secure, and well-led.
