My Story

I'm a Senior Mobile Developer with 8+ years of experience building apps that people actually love to use. Currently at Spin (Ford Mobility), I lead mobile development for an app serving over 1 million users across 100+ cities.

Before Spin, I worked at Intuitive Surgical building tools for surgeons using the da Vinci robotic surgery system, and at First Tech Federal Credit Union and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan creating mobile banking and healthcare apps.

When I'm not building apps for clients, I'm working on my own projects. Intervoo is my AI-powered interview practice platform, and Jishu Labs is a suite of 8 developer tools I built to scratch my own itch.

What I Love Building

  • AI-powered applications with OpenAI, Claude, and LangChain
  • Cross-platform mobile apps with React Native
  • Full-stack web apps with Next.js and Supabase
  • Developer tools that make life easier
