Flutter & Mobile App Developer
Building beautiful mobile experiences and leading projects that scale from thousands to millions of users
I'm a passionate Flutter and mobile app developer who started as an apprentice and progressed to leading large-scale mobile projects. For the past 3 years, I've been leading Flutter app development across diverse industries including smart energy and construction/trade sectors. I specialize in scalable app architecture including flavor systems for white-labeling, payment integrations, complex IoT device onboarding, offline-first architectures, and business workflow solutions that scale to hundreds of thousands of users. My expertise spans app flavors, automated CI/CD deployment pipelines, RevenueCat implementations, and creating seamless user experiences across multiple brands.

From college student to leading Flutter development - a story of growth, perseverance, and finding my passion in mobile app development.
Completed a 2-year course in Games and Computer Programming, building foundational knowledge in programming concepts and software development.
Gained valuable life experience working in different industries, developing soft skills and understanding of business operations while searching for the right tech opportunity.
Began my professional tech career as an apprentice at GivEnergy, eager to apply my programming knowledge in a real-world environment.
Created GivEnergy's first Alexa skill, worked on the company portal using PHP and Vue, then transitioned to Flutter app development where I found my passion.
After completing my apprenticeship, became a key contributing member of the growing Flutter development team, taking on increasing responsibilities.
Recognized as the team’s primary Flutter expert, driving technical excellence across the mobile application. Although not in a formal leadership role, I take ownership of critical architectural and implementation decisions, propose strategic improvements that are consistently adopted by management, and enforce coding standards that have enabled the app to scale from 3,000 to nearly 100,000 users.
