What I Build

My strongest work sits at the intersection of mobile engineering, applied machine learning, secure identity flows, and financial technology. I enjoy projects where correctness matters: secure authentication, liveness checks, document capture, OCR extraction, banking payments, encrypted data handling, and AI systems that need to be reliable enough for real users.
