Kyle Szives — Associate Consultant

My work lives where reliability and speed meet. I help teams turn unstable, slow, or outdated systems into products they can scale and maintain. I usually step in when things are unclear or already messy. Legacy code that needs structure. Apps that feel slow on real devices. Systems that were never designed to scale but have to anyway. I turn those into stable, predictable products that teams can trust. On the mobile side, I go deep into React Native, Expo, SQLite, and offline-first sync, which most teams avoid because it is hard to get right. I have written native modules in Swift and Kotlin for Bluetooth flows, so crossing that boundary is not a problem. On the web and backend side, I work with Next.js, Supabase, Cloudflare, Ruby on Rails, Postgres, and the queue and caching patterns that keep everything moving. I care about clarity, performance, and building software that feels fast in someone’s hand. Just the practical engineering that keeps products reliable when the stakes are high. I stay active here because I like talking about the problems engineering teams actually face. The tradeoffs. The strange platform quirks. The fixes that only show up once you have shipped enough production work. If you are building something ambitious and need someone who can diagnose, simplify, and deliver, I am the person you want in the room.
