01 / THE APPROACH
Technical enough
to build.
Product-minded
enough to care.
Good software starts with understanding the people who use it.
I connect software engineering with product thinking, business understanding and customer problem discovery. My work spans iOS and Java engineering, technical coordination, and the practical decisions that turn an idea into a live product.
Building NearDeals brings these disciplines together: defining customer journeys, working through retailer needs, coordinating mobile and backend delivery, and continuously improving the experience.

Bringing local retail

NearDeals helps customers search products, compare local prices and offers, explore store details, and reach retailers through calls, WhatsApp and directions. Wishlist, reviews, ratings and referral rewards support continued discovery.
MY ROLE
From product requirements
to release coordination.
I shape product vision, requirements, feature decisions and customer, dealer and admin flows. I coordinate mobile and backend work, app releases and deployments, retailer strategy, and marketing and growth experiments.
React Native is part of the platform ecosystem I coordinate technically; this is a product-building and coordination role alongside my engineering experience.
