SUMMARY

I have over 5 years of experience designing and delivering web applications. I specialize in Kotlin backend services, React/TypeScript frontends and Flutter mobile apps. I like being up to date on modern technologies yet favor simple, maintainable architectures that solve real problems efficiently.
