NEW BLOG POST : AI assisted engineering is not vibe coding

Product Engineer
React Native, Next.js & TypeScript

I build end-to-end products from concept to launch, specializing in consumer apps, creator platforms, and real-time systems. With over 14 years of experience, I've shipped products that handle payments, messaging, video pipelines, and monetization infrastructure—including the SERHANT platform that secured $45M in Series A funding.

Currently building GetPeter, a Chrome extension that tailors résumés per role and autofills ATS applications, ClassCrafter, an AI-powered curriculum generator, and Hanii, a mobile dating app with video features. I work best with product-driven teams where I can take ownership of complex features and turn ambitious ideas into production-ready systems.

* Hand-designed; AI-augmented where it earns its keep.

As a product engineer with over 14 years of experience building consumer apps and creator platforms, I specialize in taking ideas from concept to fully functional products. My work sits at the intersection of product design and engineering, allowing me to ship complete features independently while working closely with founders and early-stage teams.

Mobile App Development

React Native applications with video pipelines, camera integration, and real-time features. I've built mobile apps handling everything from recording workflows to content monetization, focusing on performance and native user experiences.

Payment & Monetization Systems

Stripe integrations, subscription tiers, credit systems, and webhook infrastructure. I've implemented complete monetization platforms supporting creators with recurring payments and real-time balance management.

Real-time Infrastructure

WebSocket messaging, Supabase Realtime, and notification systems. I build scalable real-time features for chat platforms, live updates, and collaborative applications with proper state synchronization.

Full-Stack Architecture

End-to-end product development with Next.js, TypeScript, and cloud functions. I handle the complete stack from database design to API architecture to production deployment and monitoring.

Products I have shipped

Five products I designed and built end-to-end — three React Native iOS apps, a desktop market-intelligence platform, and a Chrome extension. Four are live in the hands of real users today; the fifth is in active development.
