Technical Highlights
- Co-founded the company and own every technical, architectural and product decision in a 4-person founding team, from ideation through MVP to beta launch — an AI-powered platform empowering people with disabilities to travel barrier-free by verifying mobility aid compatibility, surfacing airport and airline accessibility data, and planning journeys end to end.
- Personally built and maintain the full stack across three codebases:
- The iOS app in Swift, SwiftUI and Liquid Glass.
- The Android app in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose with a modern architecture.
- A Go backend replacing our original Firebase setup, for scalability, privacy and cost control.
- Shipped full accessibility support in both apps — VoiceOver, TalkBack, dynamic type, the whole surface. Our users depend on it, so a11y is a correctness requirement here rather than a compliance checkbox.
- Launched an AI chat assistant using RAG for personalized, context-aware travel guidance. Currently exploring autonomous agents for internal operations and computer vision for assessing damaged mobility equipment from a device camera.
- Built a B2B product alongside the consumer app, giving airlines, airports and travel agencies integrated accessibility tools and data insights.
- Supervised RMIT student teams building services on the platform — scoping the work, reviewing code and running the partnership end to end.
- Secured EU-country grant funding and won multiple startup and innovation contests.
