Staff Mobile Engineer
Specializing in
On-Device AI.

I'm a Staff Mobile Engineer and Flutter GDE with 15+ years of experience, leading a team on a financial app for 3M+ users and specializing in bringing AI capabilities directly to mobile devices for enhanced user experiences.

My Story

Bringing AI to Mobile Applications

My passion is building mobile applications that leverage AI to solve real-world problems. As a Flutter GDE, I've led the integration of complex on-device AI features, including a FaceLiveness detection model using TensorFlow Lite.

Over two years of hands-on experience integrating TensorFlow Lite into production iOS and Android apps taught me how to bridge the gap between AI capabilities and practical mobile implementations that deliver value to users.

Today, I focus on integrating both on-device ML and Generative AI into mobile applications, creating innovative use cases that enhance user experiences and unlock new possibilities for businesses and their customers.

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 Experience

Expert-level proficiency across the entire mobile stack, including iOS, Android, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin, and native integrations.

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.
