Started as someone who just wanted to build apps.
Now I think about architecture, performance, user behavior and edge cases before writing a single line.
Growth hits different when you're in production.
The moment your app crashes on a Samsung that works perfectly on a Pixel welcome to Android development.
Device fragmentation is not a bug, it's the job.
Apple's design guidelines exist for a reason the apps that ignore them always feel slightly off and users can't explain why.
Intuition is just pattern recognition at scale.
An app that works offline is an app that respects the user not everyone has perfect connectivity, build like they don't.
Offline-first isn't extra, it's empathy.
