Day to day that means leading a team of four to six engineers and a QA, staying close to the codebase, and thinking about how we build things well — across iOS, Android, and Kotlin Multiplatform.</p> <p>I've been in mobile since 2014, starting as an iOS engineer and gradually expanding from there. React Native, some frontend web, then Kotlin Multiplatform. Android isn't my native ground, but I can navigate the codebase when needed. Before that, I did a Master's in Electronics-ICT with a focus on ICT, graduating in 2013. My thesis was on machine learning — building a model to recognise sounds in a home environment. An early interest in AI, back when it was purely ML.</p> <p>AI has become part of how I work: how I plan, how I write code, how I lead a team. I've been experimenting with that seriously since fall 2025, and this is where I write about it — not as finished thinking, but as a working log from someone doing it in a real context.</p> <p>Outside of work: I spend time with my fiancée and our cat. I cycle, I lift, and occasionally show up to a CrossFit class. I also do photography — mostly landscapes, the kind that require a hike to get to.</p> <p>That's the short version. The rest is in the posts.</p> career devjournal leadership mobile
