Mobile Engineering Leader · iOS · Android · Firebase
Founding Mobile Engineer at Main Event. 20+ years mobile. 40+ years software.
What I work on: Multi-platform mobile architecture at solo-to-team scale, with AI-augmented development teams handling implementation, testing, and review across iOS, Android, and Firebase middleware.
What I think about publicly:
- AI as a compiler. AI tooling is the next layer of compilation, not a replacement for engineers. The job is the same; the tools are different.
- The factory model. A software org is now a coordinated set of specialized AI departments led by a human operator, not a chatbot trying to do everything.
- The Quiet Return of Engineers. The second wave of AI tooling is calling engineers back to design, architecture, and judgment work. The skill is more valuable than ever, not less.
