Tirana, Albania
Albanian software engineer based in Tirana. I build full-stack web systems and native mobile apps for clients worldwide, and own them from first commit to release.
Since 2023 I have shipped client websites and two native apps, owning everything from architecture and offline-first data to interface motion and App Store release. I care about the unseen details that make software feel right.
