Things I’ve Built
My own products at Wapp LTD and work for clients, from a Canadian fintech to AI fitness and study apps. Most of these I built end to end, mobile, backend and web.
Engineer first, product builder now
I started as an iOS developer and spent seven years building apps for telecoms, startups and agencies, including leading the move of a large Objective-C codebase to modern Swift. These days I run Wapp LTD, where my team and I ship our own apps and take on client products like PlusCredit. I still write code every week, and I care most about the parts users never see: clean architecture, solid security and releases that don’t break.
