Overview

I've spent 17 years on mobile apps - first at Salesforce, now at HCLTech. Built the experimentation framework 11 product teams use to ship changes safely. Shipped 23 launches on the Android team without a rollback. Before that: Capgemini and Siemens. I write a small newsletter about mobile apps.
