About

I’m a mobile software engineer and entrepreneur with over a decade of experience building and scaling iOS and Android apps. At Microsoft, I led the modernization of legacy iOS codebases, architecting high-performance Swift SDKs and delivering ad tech features that enhanced both user experience and API efficiency. As the founder of Pomona App Studio, I’ve launched top-ranked apps like CardValue Pro, Stamp Expert, and Book Buddy, blending machine learning, VisionOS, and dynamic UI to create highly rated consumer tools. My apps consistently focus on niche discovery, scanning, and valuation—bridging AI with real-world collecting and lifestyle needs. With a background spanning startups like JW Player, Branch, and AppNexus/Xandr, I specialize in SDK development, cross-platform optimization, and mobile growth strategy. I thrive at the intersection of product, engineering, and user insight. Always exploring what’s next in mobile, ML, and spatial computing. 📱 iOS | Swift | Objective-C | Machine Learning | SDKs | Startups
