Great software goes beyond writing clean code. I am extremely passionate about designing thoughtful, scalable solutions that empower businesses to grow, supporting millions of users and large development teams.

M1 Advisor

An AI assistant for people who invest.

At M1, I built an iOS AI chat experience that helps people make sense of their savings and investment accounts.

V1 was a massive success, but we didn't stop there. Together with the rest of the AI Platform team, I iterated on Advisor by adding highly requested features such as streaming responses, server driven UI with Human-in-the-loop (HITL) interrupts, all while maintaining backwards compatibility.

Wanna Parlay

A daily fantasy sports betting platform.

At Wanna, I built the Wanna Parlay betting platform allowing people to build parlays.

After a successful product launch in Brazil, we shifted our focus to the U.S. market by launching a brand new product focused on users interested in daily fantasy sports. I built the iOS app from the ground up while working hand-in-hand with our API team to expose the endpoints needed to make the product successful.

Staff iOS Engineer

M1 Finance

I build the conversation experience for the company's AI assistant — the streaming chat interface people use to ask about their money. Along the way: design-system components used across the product, and architecture work that keeps the codebase easy to change.

Lead Software Engineer

Wanna, Inc

Led a team of ten across two countries, building Wanna Bet in Brazil and Wanna Parlay in the U.S. We passed 100k users in the first year. Stood up CI/CD that cut build times 75%, and bet early on SwiftUI and JetBrains Compose.

Head of Application Delivery

CellPoint Digital

Led a team of six on the company's payment SDK — the thing other companies' apps were built on. Part engineering, part working directly with clients to get integrations over the line, part mentoring the developers around me.

Senior iOS Engineer (Contract)

Red Foundry

Designed an in-app payment flow on Stripe and helped raise the team's code-review bar. Also helped rework how the company interviewed and onboarded engineers.

Senior iOS Developer

PunchKick Interactive

Agency years. Shipped 20+ iOS apps for clients including PetSmart, the Chicago Tribune, and U.S. Soccer — three of them featured on the App Store.

Software Developer

ComPsych Corporation

Rebuilt the Guidance Resources web portal and served as principal developer on its iOS app — including migrating the UI from Xibs to programmatic AutoLayout.

Software Developer

BranchFire, Inc

First job out of the gate. Built the BranchFire website and core product features — Excel and PowerPoint to Word conversion — plus C++ components shared across the product line.

Beyond the code

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.”

— H. Jackson Brown Jr.

My career has taken me across the globe to 10+ countries. The people i've met and the experiences i've had keeps me grounded and pushes me to be the best version of myself.
