I help startups build mobile right the first time.

Senior Mobile Engineer at Intuit · 10 years in iOS, Android & fintech.

About Me

Hi, I'm Nikita. Based in San Francisco Bay Area, California.

10 years across fintech, enterprise, and startups — both building and advising.

Architecture advice

I help founders make the right mobile stack decisions early, before they become expensive to undo.

Hands-on building

I can join as a fractional CTO or lead engineer to ship your iOS/Android MVP alongside your team.

Broad depth

10 years across fintech (Intuit), enterprise security (OpenText), and startups — I understand compliance constraints, secure architecture, and AI tooling, not just mobile.

Scale experience

I've seen what breaks at scale and what never should have been built that way. I help startups make technical decisions today that won't become expensive regrets at Series A.
