ABOUT ME

Mobile developer with over a decade of experience

While my expertise is mobile app development, I love building great experiences for users wherever they are. My full time job is in native app development, but I have built applications for the Google Assistant, web, and Chromecast. Learning new technologies and how to integrate with new channels to interact with users is something I never shy away from.

Shortly after starting my professional career, I became an iOS developer and have stayed in mobile development since. The companies and apps that I have worked on range from startup to corporate and local to international. I have also presented at local meetups on different iOS-related topics such as Swift.

Discretion is a party game, meant to be played in-person, although there’s no technical reason why it can’t be done separately. At least three players compete by answering 10 yes/no questions, then guessing how many said yes. I have added integration with Google's AI platform in the latest beta version. Users can provide a theme and the app uses generative AI to produce questions based on that theme.
