## Experience

### Lead Mobile Engineer @ Joyolabs

AI app studio founded by ex-Meta, ex-Google, and ex-Palantir engineers.

- Founded and lead the mobile engineering team building AI-powered consumer apps in Flutter and Swift — owning the full lifecycle from architecture to store release, scaling the flagship app from launch to **1M+ users** and **200K+ monthly actives** in its first year.
- Define technical vision and architecture standards across the studio's portfolio — shipping real-time voice, text, and visual intelligence, plus native Swift surfaces: an Apple Watch recording app, share extensions, and an AVFoundation audio pipeline.
- Designed an AI-augmented development pipeline with Claude Code and Codex, where specialized agents handle planning, implementation, and QA — shipping production features with a fraction of the typical engineering effort.
- Built an automated UI verification system on a custom flutter-simulator skill — AI agents drive and visually verify the app on simulators, catching regressions without manual QA passes.
- Built a multi-model PR review system dispatching parallel reviews to Claude, Codex, and Gemini, synthesized into one report ranked by cross-model consensus — surfacing high-confidence bugs before merge.
- Built release automation: TestFlight / Play Store CI pipelines and an AI agent that pre-validates iOS builds against App Store guidelines before submission.

### Mobile Team Lead @ Colendi

- Led a team of 7 mobile engineers, later a cross-functional team of 10 (mobile, backend, web, QA, product) delivering fintech products from concept to production.
- Shipped a full spectrum of regulated fintech apps: stock investment (BIST & NASDAQ), crypto trading, digital banking, digital wallet, and BNPL.
- Owned architectural decisions, code quality standards, and release processes; aligned mobile strategy with company objectives alongside C-level stakeholders.

### Senior Mobile Application Developer @ Colendi

- Built wallet, crypto trading, and stock trading apps in Dart/Flutter, including Flutter Web modules embedded inside partner super apps.
- Implemented CI/CD pipelines with custom Dart CLI tooling and GitHub Actions, automating release preparation across the portfolio.
- Developed native (Swift) and Flutter SDKs/plugins enabling partners to embed Colendi's fintech services into their own apps.

### iOS Developer @ Beymen Group

- Resolved critical bugs, shipped new features, and released updates on a compressed timeline — improving stability of flagship retail apps.

### Software Engineer @ Huawei

- Built and maintained open-source React Native plugins for HMS Core & AppGallery Connect (Crash Kit, Auth Service, Cloud DB, Cloud Functions, Location Kit, AR) in Swift and Java.
- Authored official documentation on the Huawei Developer portal and handled community issues on GitHub.

### Mobile Application Developer @ Puxo Digital Experience

- Delivered native iOS (Swift) and React Native apps across multiple client domains, from requirements gathering to release.
