I have been passionate about developing mobile applications for years, focusing on crafting innovative and user-friendly solutions. Over the past 2.5 years, I have specialized in iOS development, working with UIKit and SwiftUI to build high-quality mobile applications.
I work as a freelancer and an indie digital product developer, collaborating with a small team to bring creative projects to life. My work enables me to live as a digital nomad, traveling to different countries while continuing to grow my skills.
