Real-time face liveness
On-device, privacy-preserving
I've been a mobile engineer for 15 years. I began studying deep learning in 2018 (Deep Learning Specialization, Stanford/Coursera) — well before the on-device AI wave. That preparation is now shipping in production: LiteRT face liveness on 4M+ users at KBTG, where I serve as Head of the Mobile Guild (60+ engineers) and lead a team of ~10 mobile engineers in a 3,000-person tech organization.
My work sits where mobile and AI meet — not as a job pivot, but as a deliberate, multi-year alignment. I lead by setting architectural standards (Flutter-Native hybrid strategy, security, observability) while staying hands-on with the code that proves them. Three principles guide that work:
This is the work I've been quietly preparing for. If it intersects with what you're building, I'm always up for a conversation.
For a high-security financial app, we needed real-time face liveness running entirely on-device — no biometric data leaving the phone, no server-call latency. Since 2022, I've led the integration and ongoing optimization of LiteRT face liveness: architecting iOS/Android bridges via platform channels, tuning inference across device variance, and coordinating across data science, mobile, and security teams.
Result: production on-device AI processing sensitive biometric data locally, holding real-time detection accuracy across millions of daily authentications.
A financial app serving millions needed enterprise-grade performance under strict transaction security and volatile network conditions across diverse devices. I architected a high-performance optimistic-loading architecture — executing flows instantly while resilient fallback callbacks catch transactional anomalies and securely enforce safety policies (logging the user out on critical mismatches). I also directed the optimization of biometric security loops by eliminating redundant platform-channel context handshakes.
Result: the fastest biometric login speed in the financial industry, with a flawless compliance record and zero security breaches.
Scaling mobile architecture standards for 60+ engineers within a 3,000-person tech organization, while keeping a financial super-app stable for a massive user base. As Head of the Mobile Guild, I define the Flutter-Native Hybrid Strategy and core technical standards, act as the primary technical authority on complex architectural decisions, and own the CI/CD and observability infrastructure (Firebase, Analytics) that lets the org move fast safely.
Result: standardized coding practices, reduced technical debt, and a "Zero Downtime" strategy that absorbed major platform shifts (e.g., Privacy Manifests) without service interruption.
