AI-First Developer and Tech Lead with 11+ years shipping mobile, web and AI/ML products. I build with Claude Code, GPT, Gemini and Antigravity in the loop — on top of deep Flutter and Android engineering. I’ve led teams delivering for Emerson and OMRON, and I’m building a drone technology startup.

01 About

Eleven years of engineering judgement, now moving at AI speed.

I’m a results-oriented Tech Lead with over a decade — 11+ years — across mobile development (Flutter, Android, iOS), web applications, and AI/ML solutions. Much of that time was spent close to the metal: BLE and NFC stacks, IPC, on-device ML, and the kind of root-cause analysis that happens when a device in the field misbehaves at 2am.

Today I work AI-first. Claude Code, GPT, Gemini and Antigravity are part of my daily toolchain — not as autocomplete, but as collaborators for architecture, refactoring and shipping. The eleven years are what make that work: knowing what to ask for, and knowing when the answer is wrong.

I lead engineering teams and have delivered production software for major corporations including Emerson and OMRON. Outside of client work I write on Medium, answer questions on Stack Overflow, ship personal products, and build SPDrone.tech, a drone technology startup.

02 How I build

AI-first, not AI-only.

I treat frontier models as engineering collaborators — scaffolding, refactoring and exploring in parallel — while the architecture, the review and the accountability stay mine. Eleven years of shipping is what makes the difference between fast and reckless.

Claude Code

Agentic development in the terminal — multi-file refactors, test generation and codebase-wide reasoning on real production repositories.

Daily driver

GPT

Rapid problem framing, API design exploration and turning half-formed product ideas into specifications worth building from.

Ideation & specs

Gemini

In-product intelligence. Gemini AI Studio and the Gemini API power the assistants inside DayFlow, Antigravity Chat and my AI Recipe Assistant.

Shipped in production

Antigravity

Agent-driven IDE workflows — and the platform behind my Antigravity Chat build on Gemini 3.1 Pro.

Agentic IDE

Firebase Studio

AI-assisted full-stack prototyping — going from prompt to a deployed, authenticated app while the idea is still warm.

Prototyping

On-device ML

Google ML Kit and embedded models — vision, text and inference that keep working when the network doesn’t.

Edge AI
  1. 01

    Frame

    Define the problem and constraints precisely — before a single token is generated.

  2. 02

    Pair

    Run agents on scaffolding, migrations and the tedious 80% in parallel.

  3. 03

    Review

    Read every line. Architecture, security and edge cases are not delegated.

  4. 04

    Ship

    Test, instrument, release — and own what happens next.

03 Experience

Eleven years, four teams, one throughline.

From Android developer to Tech Lead in an R&D department. Select any role to expand it.

  1. Leading delivery inside the Research & Development department of a CMMI Level 3, Great Place to Work certified organisation. Architecting Flutter and native applications for enterprise clients, mentoring engineers, and driving technical decisions from proposal through release — increasingly with an AI-first workflow that puts Claude Code, GPT and Gemini into the delivery loop.
