/What I Bring

Engineering that moves the business: faster launches, fewer platforms to maintain, and products that hold up at scale.

Speed to market
Products live in weeks, not quarters

Markaz MVP in 14 days, a key factor in YC acceptance. EverAsk from zero to Play Store in a month. Imagine Art rebuilt in two.

One codebase, two platforms
Ship every feature to iOS and Android at once

Kotlin and Compose Multiplatform in production since 2022, cutting duplicate work while keeping native-grade performance.

Revenue and growth
The flows that make money, built to hold

Stripe subscriptions and paywalls that never lose a purchase mid-flow. Server-driven UI so campaigns launch same-day, without a release.

Scale and reliability
Millions of users, on any device

5M+ users on 1–2GB RAM phones at 99% crash-free. On-device AI 5–7x faster than ML Kit, shipped to enterprise clients like WeWork.

Teams that level up
Engineers who can carry the codebase

Hired and trained 5 engineers in KMP at Markaz and 3 more at Vyro, with docs, sessions, and starter templates they still use.
