About Me

Building great mobile
experiences since 2011

Registered iOS Developer since 2011 (Objective-C) and Swift developer since 2016. I've led and contributed to mobile banking apps for RBC, CIBC, TD, and HSBC, as well as consumer products like Bose's audio streaming platform.

Before specializing in iOS, I built a broad foundation as a Systems Analyst/Developer — working on data warehousing, BI, Oracle databases, and enterprise applications across Costa Rica and Canada. I also work with Claude AI and AI-assisted development tools, integrating modern LLM capabilities into my workflow.
