Mobile Software Engineer focused on native development, scalable mobile architecture, and developer tooling. I enjoy building modular, maintainable systems and improving developer workflows through CI/CD, automation, and better engineering practices.
My experience spans end-to-end feature delivery, mobile security integrations, and platform infrastructure across native mobile applications. While mobile is my core domain, I’m continuously expanding into broader software engineering areas including backend systems, distributed architecture, game development, and interactive technology.

Integration Workflow Optimization:
> Reduced feature estimates from 8/5 story points to 3 by streamlining Apollo Studio query setup and GraphQL gateway integration, improving team delivery velocity.
GraphQL Resolver Development:
> Built custom resolvers in sandbox environments and refactored legacy logic to improve
performance and readability across shared modules.
Swift Memory Management Insight:
> Diagnosed and fixed a silent unit test failure caused by ARC mismanagement.
Implemented withExtendedLifetime for proper object retention—improving test reliability
and deepening my grasp of Swift's memory model.
Capacitor Migration & Plugin Development:
> Developed and maintained Capacitor plugins and wrapper layers supporting the
migration from Cordova to Capacitor architecture.
Security Module Refactor:
> Refactored DAON facial recognition module from Objective-C to Swift, introducing
MVVM architecture and automated unit testing.
CI/CD & Build Infrastructure:
> Improved pipelines with Fastlane for automated testing validation.
Built internal tooling and scripts for GitHub macOS runner infrastructure
to support scalable CI pipelines.
Feature Flagging System:
> Designed a compile-time feature flagging system using Ruby automation and shared
configuration to support trunk-based development on iOS project.
Payments Integration:
> Implemented Google Pay micro-frontend integration using Facade and Adapter patterns.
PDF Security & Encryption:
> Led collaboration for secure PDF password protection and encryption workflows
across iOS and Android platforms.
