About Me

Hello! I’m Joy, a Mobile Engineer with 12+ years of experience building high-quality mobile applications.

My expertise lies in native iOS and Android development using Swift, Kotlin, and modern mobile architectures. I also have experience developing cross-platform applications using React Native and Flutter. In addition, I have worked on website development using WordPress and have experience with React, JavaScript, and PHP.

I am a fast learner who can quickly pick up new technologies and frameworks. I am self-driven when learning, leveraging documentation, online resources, and hands-on experimentation to understand new concepts and become productive quickly.
