// about
Ship it end to end.
Software engineer with 3+ years building cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter and Dart, end-to-end from UI to backend integration. Shipped production Flutter apps across HR, fintech, food delivery, and ride-hailing use cases, with hands-on Firebase, REST API integration, and native release pipelines. Also comfortable writing the backend those apps talk to — Python/Node.js APIs, PostgreSQL, and deployments on GCP and AWS.
