About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Mobile Engineer specializing in React Native, with more than eight years of dedicated React Native experience and a 20-year foundation in software engineering. I build production-grade mobile products from architecture through App Store and Google Play release.

I am comfortable owning the entire mobile function as a sole developer, including application architecture, native modules, CI/CD, release automation, telemetry, testing, and deployment. I also work effectively within larger cross-functional teams alongside backend, product, and design colleagues.

My focus is on media-rich, high-performance interfaces that remain responsive under heavy usage. I combine performance optimization, thoughtful state management, caching, and native platform knowledge to deliver polished user experiences.

I have led React Native migrations, multi-tenant application platforms, global redesigns, secure storage implementations, Bluetooth and hardware integrations, and real-time vehicle telematics. My background also includes frontend leadership, web platform architecture, REST APIs, Sitecore, and JavaScript map APIs.

I am open to permanent employment and B2B/contract opportunities across the EU. I have worked with clients in the UK and the Netherlands and am available for occasional on-site travel.

Career history

Senior React Native Developer FoodStyles

I own the end-to-end mobile function as the sole mobile developer, covering architecture, feature delivery, native module work, release automation, and App Store and Google Play deployment.

I migrated the application to the React Native New Architecture, audited and patched native dependencies, and completed a full redesign while parallel feature delivery continued. I also built performant virtualized data interfaces with custom caching to support smooth scrolling.

I maintain Expo upgrades and native-library patches, configure iOS universal links and Android app links, and manage Sentry, PostHog, OTA updates, and CI/CD. I modernized the codebase with TypeScript and React Query, automated QA through Maestro tests, and use an AI-assisted workflow with code review and device testing before release.

Senior React Developer LeasePlan

I helped retrofit a single-tenant storefront into a multi-tenant architecture serving more than 35 global markets from a unified runtime bundle.

I engineered a dynamic React layout system that rendered CMS-defined Sitecore content blocks for market-specific page compositions. I also supported a major live-production global rebrand while feature work continued.

I introduced automated visual regression testing with Storybook and Chromatic in the CI pipeline. I simplified application state by replacing Redux Saga with React Query for server state and Jotai for local state.

Senior React Native Developer Sage Intacct, Inc.

I architected a greenfield React Native platform that produced multiple distinctly branded applications from a single codebase.

I developed a dynamic configuration layer that resolved themes, screens, and navigation stacks at application startup instead of hardcoding individual applications.

I implemented encrypted persistent storage for session tokens and financial data using iOS Keychain and Android Keystore. I also established the project's automated end-to-end quality assurance infrastructure with Appium.

Senior React Native Developer Movium

I served as the sole mobile engineer for four operator-branded React Native vehicle-rental applications, building and maintaining the products across iOS and Android.

I delivered hardware-to-software rental workflows involving payment SDKs, real-time trip tracking, BLE communication, custom native Bluetooth capabilities, QR-code vehicle unlocking, and point-in-time geolocation validation.

I improved telematics by moving dynamic active-trip data from long polling to WebSockets. I consolidated four codebases into a monorepo and created Fastlane pipelines for automated builds and releases across eight app-store listings.

Tech Lead Evozon

I led frontend engineering for the Niftio SaaS platform, improving heavy presentation rendering through HTML5 canvas-to-base64 conversion and IndexedDB caching.

For getPony, I took a React Native product from an unwired design shell to public release as the sole mobile developer. I implemented backend-connected features, BLE vehicle unlocking, payment integration, trip history, and App Store and Google Play submissions.

I subsequently helped rebuild the product as a multi-tenant platform, which became Movium.

Senior Web Developer EBS Romania

I architected and developed a REST API backend for schulverwaltung.de, a high-traffic administration portal for German kindergartens and schools.

I optimized frontend components to support the portal's performance and usability requirements.

I integrated automated API documentation generation from source code using apiGen, enabling faster iteration and clearer API collaboration.

Technical-Lead Cybercom

I led architecture work for Media Reader, an early iPhone application built with Titanium that consumed Drupal content and retained it on-device for offline reading.

I owned both the mobile application architecture and the Drupal-side API used by the app.

I also contributed architecture, initial documentation, and Drupal API work for the Skapat Energia intranet/extranet, as well as an admin UI for the Teleste Luminato streaming server.

Frontend Team-Leader Addition

I led the frontend team for the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs web estate, built on Sitecore.

I established frontend workflows, coding standards, and architecture, and coordinated the interface between frontend and backend teams.

I defined implementation patterns for dynamic AJAX functionality and Google Maps API integration within CMS-managed, server-rendered Sitecore pages.

Web Team-Leader Wayfinder Systems

I designed and implemented the JavaScript architecture for a browser map API and contributed to the underlying map algorithms and API documentation.

I progressed from developer to lead for the map API work and then the web team over two and a half years.

My responsibilities included participation in the maps API architecture committee and a period serving as scrum master.

Web Developer MindMagnet SRL

I worked across a rotating portfolio of client codebases in an outsourcing environment, developing features on public frameworks and in-house platforms.

This role established my server-side engineering foundation and involved direct client contact, technical estimation, and delivery responsibilities from the start.

I gained broad experience adapting to different project architectures and client requirements.
