I’m a senior software engineer with 10+ years of experience turning loosely defined product and business needs into production mobile applications, web platforms, and integrations.

I own delivery from discovery and architecture through implementation, deployment, measurement, and long-term operation. My work combines hands-on engineering with product judgement and UX expertise: define the right problem, make the complex feel simple, ship reliably, and improve based on real-world results.

A production Flutter and Firebase training platform for hockey players. I lead its architecture and delivery across mobile development, real-time data, subscriptions, product discovery, release management, and long-term operation.

The product is designed around a simple goal: let players log training quickly, understand their progress, and stay motivated. Behind that experience are real-time Firestore streams, team competition, guided training, in-app purchases, analytics, and automated delivery workflows.

A WordPress, LearnDash, and MemberPress membership platform for structured hockey training. I built the learning experience, subscription flows, gated content, member dashboards, and supporting operational systems.

The platform balances a clear progression for players with maintainable workflows for non-technical administrators.

A Flutter application combining interactive mapping, Bluetooth beacons, and contextual content into a location-aware visitor experience.

I resolved cross-platform Bluetooth failures in an unsupported dependency, migrated the application to a sustainable replacement, and restructured it ahead of beta launch. I also redesigned the organization’s public website.

A customizable training product that lets users create reusable routines, define flexible performance metrics, complete structured sessions, and track improvement across different training styles.

A self-hosted family media platform spanning containerized services, reverse proxies, secure remote access, monitoring, and automated workflows across NAS and Windows systems.

A Flutter-based lyric and chord practice app built around tempo control, section looping, and progressive independence. Its dedicated scroll engine and playback state machine keep practice logic separate from the interface.
