Bringing AI to Mobile

As a Flutter GDE with 15+ years of experience, my passion lies in bridging the gap between theoretical AI and practical mobile implementation.

I don't just integrate models; I optimize them for the edge. From leading FaceLiveness detection using TensorFlow Lite to exploring Generative AI, I build apps that are not just "smart," but responsive and privacy-focused.

Philosophy: Depth Over Breadth

The mobile ecosystem is deceptively deep. I believe that to truly master the nuances of performance and UX, one cannot afford to be a generalist.

  • The "Rabbit Hole" Mindset: I don't claim to know everything. The mobile world is vast, and I prefer to dedicate my learning capacity to complex challenges like Memory Management, App Size Optimization, and 120fps Rendering rather than spreading myself thin across backend stacks.
  • Specialized Arsenal: My expertise is focused on where users interact: AI Integration, Advanced Analytics, and Complex UI/UX adaptations for foldable devices.
  • Engineering Reliability: I learned automation specifically for mobile workflows. I use Golden Tests, Widget Tests, and Integration Tests to ensure enterprise-scale stability.

"I'm not just a mobile developer—I'm a specialist who respects the complexity of the platform to deliver experiences others can't replicate."

Career Highlights

Flutter GDE

Recognized by Google as a Developer Expert for Flutter (December 2022 – Present). Active public speaker and blogger.

Staff Engineer @ KBTG

Leading a team of 12 mobile engineers on a high-security financial app with over 3 million users. Integrated on-device TFLite models.

15+ Years Deep Tech

Going beyond syntax to master mobile internals. Specializing in memory optimization, complex native integrations, and performance profiling for enterprise-scale iOS & Android apps.

Featured Work

On-Device Liveness Detection @ KBTG

Challenge: To enhance security for 3M+ users in a high-security financial application, we needed to implement real-time face liveness detection that could run entirely on-device without compromising user privacy or app performance.

My Role: As Staff Engineer, I led a 2-year effort to integrate a complex TensorFlow Lite model into our production Flutter app. This involved architecting the native iOS/Android bridge using platform channels, optimizing model inference performance across different device capabilities, and coordinating between the data science team (model training), mobile engineers (integration), and security teams (compliance) to ensure a seamless and secure user experience.

Impact: Successfully deployed on-device AI that processes sensitive biometric data locally, eliminating server round-trips and maintaining user privacy while achieving real-time detection accuracy that met our security requirements across millions of daily authentications.

App Performance Optimization @ KBTG

Challenge: A financial app serving 3M+ users needed to maintain enterprise-grade performance while handling increasing feature complexity, strict security requirements, and variable network conditions across diverse device capabilities.

My Role: As Staff Engineer leading platform engineering initiatives, I architected and implemented comprehensive performance optimizations including intelligent API call strategies, multi-layer caching systems, offline-first architecture, and server load reduction techniques—all while maintaining strict security compliance for financial transactions and sensitive user data.

Impact: Reduced app launch time by 40%, decreased API calls by 60% through smart caching, improved offline functionality for critical user journeys, and significantly reduced server costs while maintaining zero security incidents and improving overall user experience scores.
