Hello! My name is Ian, a skilled software engineer with over six years professional experience, specialised in
mobile application development. I am able to develop both native Android apps using Kotlin/Java and
cross-platform applications (iOS and Android) using React Native and Flutter. I am also quite capable in backend and web development using ReactJS and .NET Core.
Beyond building apps, I specialize in modernizing legacy codebases, refactoring models for immutability and clarity,
and designing dual-model strategies that bridge persistence with clean business logic.I’m passionate about maintainable
workflows and developer experience: organizing codebases with clear structure, generating test/mock data, and
implementing best practices that future-proof projects. Whether troubleshooting complex UI layouts, optimizing
accessibility, or resolving environment issues, I bring a pragmatic approach that balances immediate delivery with
long-term scalability.Driven by user-centric design and performance, my goal is to empower teams to deliver impactful
apps that enhance functionality, collaboration, and user satisfaction.
