Stack

Built around React Native, shaped for full stack delivery

Main stack

React, React Native, Expo Router, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and mobile-first responsive UI systems.

Backend layer

Node.js serverless routes, Stripe payment setup, Postmark email delivery, environment configuration, and deployment workflows.

Secondary mobile

Kotlin and Android Studio as the native Android path, aligned with the same release and device-testing discipline.

The Way I Work

My Workflow

This page is personal, but it stays practical. Every story beat ties back to a skill, artifact, or production outcome.

01
Developer researching an app on a laptop and smartphone

Research

  1. Discuss
  2. Brainstorm
  3. Industry Research

Banking customers are not Video Streamers, Global users not American ones. That's why I conduct comprehensive, theoretical Industry & Product Research before the practical work of UI/UX, Front-End, Back-End, Build & Release planning even begins.

Evidence: UI/UX philosophy, visual hierarchy studies, shipped mobile screens.

02
Developers planning an app interface on a whiteboard

Plan

  1. Wireframing
  2. Mockups
  3. Scaffold

Cross-platform or Platform-specific? Web version or App-only? UI-focused or Back-end heavy?

I help make the difficult decisions about your unique product.

Evidence: Alla Vostra, Cinerific, Credit King.

03

Produce

  1. Build
  2. Testing
  3. Deployment

Although the nitty-gritty of every project is different, some systematization is paramount; that's why I always, without exception, begin every session with read-project briefings, commit changes in an organized manner, track real-time snapshots of project changes, and generate end-of-day worklogs at all times.

Evidence: Vercel API, Stripe, PayPal, Postmark.

04
Analytics dashboard used to study product data

Analyze

  1. Review
  2. Measure
  3. Learn

Creation without learning is useless. By studying & analyzing diffs while the project is growing, I ensure that I'm in the loop, and deeply comprehend, every coding change made to the project in real time.

Evidence: 100+ logs across active projects.

05
Stylish smartphone framed by colorful release lights

Release

  1. Handoff
  2. Launch
  3. Upkeep

A launch is a transition, not a finish line. I pair deployment checks and clear handoff documentation with ongoing upkeep so the product remains dependable after it reaches users.

Evidence: Production launches across active projects.
