Backend Java developer for 15+ years, now happily pivoting into mobile full‑stack work.
I'm focused on building React Native apps (TypeScript) while also doing some Backend‑for‑Frontend work—because great mobile experiences are as much about the APIs as the UI.
Mobile keeps expanding my world: from Apple's ecosystem to the real-world complexity of supporting Android across a wide range of devices (Huawei, Oppo, and more). And even with a high-level stack, I enjoy going "fully native" when needed—Java/Kotlin for Android features, Swift/Objective‑C for iOS, and even C++ for cross‑platform layers with the new React Native architecture.
I'm also into end‑to‑end testing: I've been learning and using WebdriverIO, and I've contributed improvements that help our day‑to‑day workflow.
I like learning by contributing—whether it's React Native fixes, Jest, or other libraries—because it deepens my understanding of how the tools we rely on are actually built.
