I ship end-to-end mobile products — and use Product Analytics (journeys, funnels, retention) to understand behaviour, cut churn, and turn insights into shipping priorities. Built the Retention Intelligence Agent to analyse funnel data and return action items.

What I do
Services built around delivery, not decks
One focus per engagement: ship production mobile software that holds up in stores and at scale.
Android apps
Native Kotlin/Java delivery with MVVM, solid networking, and Google Play release discipline.
VPN & secure networking
Client architecture for OpenVPN / Xray / Sing-box, proxies, and consumer VPN UX at scale.
AI orchestration
LLM tool use, RAG, LangGraph agents, MCP servers, evals and guardrails for product workflows.
Product Analytics (Journeys · Funnels · Retention)
Map user journeys, diagnose funnel drop-offs, read behavioural signals, lift retention, and reduce churn — with an agent that turns metrics into prioritized action items.
