My Approach
Spec Engineering & Discovery
I partner with product managers and stakeholders to translate complex feature goals into structured technical specs. Using AI for rapid threat modeling and edge-case discovery, we align on clear architectural boundaries, performance targets, and business goals before writing code.
Rapid Prototyping & UX Validation
I collaborate with designers to validate layouts, user flows, and interaction models. By pairing generative UI tools with rapid prototyping, we turn design concepts into interactive testable components in hours, gathering early feedback from users and team members before full buildout.
AI-Augmented Development
I architect production-ready native iOS and web systems, using AI coding assistants as force multipliers for boilerplate and test synthesis. I lead core architectural decisions, enforce strict 60fps performance and memory standards, and mentor teammates through clean code practices.
Automated Audit & Quality Review
I conduct comprehensive code reviews with the engineering team while leveraging AI for automated security audits, synthetic regression testing, and documentation generation. This ensures final code exceeds performance standards, stays maintainable for future developers, and releases reliably.
