About
From mobile apps to web experiences, I work across the full product surface — crafting interfaces that feel native, systems that perform at scale, and experiences that don't demand more attention than they deserve.
Privacy isn't a feature I bolt on — it's a foundation I build from. I believe your data belongs to you, and I design every product around that principle from day one.
