A brief introduction to my professional and personal self.

Welcome, humans and potential ATS bots!

I want to introduce and kick off my personal/professional blog—a space where I can start sharing opinions, reflections, and insights on mobile development, emerging technologies, and the IT industry as a business.

My Approach

My development philosophy is built on four fundamental pillars:

  1. AI has fundamentally changed development: Failing to grasp the historical context of this shift can be a major hurdle when joining high-performing, cross-functional teams.
  2. Architecture is a top priority: Layered, Hexagonal, and “Clean” architecture. Reality hits hard, and today, this isn’t just a necessary skill—it’s one that requires deep study.
  3. Developer Experience (DX) above all: Having a clear vision of which tools to use can set you apart from the crowd of people looking for work.
  4. Product, product, product: What differentiates a “ticket-pusher” engineer from one who understands product and business logic? Bug prevention, faster feature delivery, and overall better code quality.

A brief history of my career

Seven years ago, when AI code generation was not yet a daily reality, a project leader—to whom I owe a great deal of gratitude and respect—asked me what I wanted to do in my next five years and where I wanted to be. I decided to specialize in React Native.

I’ve had the luck, the honor, and occasionally the challenge of working on diverse projects across various sectors, allowing me to recognize my capabilities and, above all, learn from my mistakes. I have worked in every possible capacity: as a full-time employee, contractor, subcontractor, and freelancer (both hourly and project-based!).

As of today, I have over 8 years of experience developing mobile applications.

I will use this space to share my thoughts and reflections, attempting to provide a human perspective from an engineer without a formal degree, but with a ton of experience.
