My Journey
From Android native to full-stack engineering driven by principles, not just stacks
Developer Journey
I started building Android apps with Kotlin, working on projects like a plant-care assistant, productivity timer, and event booking app. I worked a lot with Android system components while focusing on stable UI, smooth performance, and clean architecture.
Currently, I'm working in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem building full-stack apps with Next.js for the web (like on cunocovo.com) and doing side projects with React Native Expo and NestJS for backend.
Throughout my journey, the tech stack changed, but principles like navigation flow, state management, data caching, optimization, security, and architecture stayed the same. That helps me solve problems based on the problem itself, not the stack.
At Digital Upgraders LLC, I'm focused on making the platform consistent across devices, improving performance, and ensuring every operation runs smoothly.
Core Engineering Values
The fundamental principles that guide my approach to software engineering, regardless of technology stack
Clean Architecture
Building scalable systems with proper separation of concerns, maintainable code, and clear component hierarchies.
Navigation Flow
Crafting intuitive user journeys with seamless transitions and thoughtful state persistence across platforms.
State Management
Implementing robust state solutions with proper data flow, predictable updates, and efficient synchronization.
Performance & Caching
Optimizing with smart caching strategies, lazy loading, and efficient data fetching for blazing-fast experiences.
Security First
Prioritizing authentication, authorization, input validation, and security best practices in every implementation.
Optimization
Continuously improving performance metrics, reducing bundle sizes, and enhancing user experience across devices.
Cross-Platform Consistency
Ensuring seamless experiences across web, iOS, and Android with unified design systems and shared logic.
Problem-First Thinking
Solving challenges based on the problem itself, not the stack—adapting technology to fit the need.
"Technology stacks evolve, but engineering fundamentals remain constant. I adapt tools to solve problems, not problems to fit tools."
