About Robin

I like building software—and understanding what lives underneath it.

I am a full-stack developer, a former data-science researcher, and a permanently curious reader of theoretical computer science. By day I build web and AI-powered products; alongside that I freelance, write technical articles, and have started exploring native Apple development.

what keeps moving

Three currents

Not a neat list of specialties. More like three streams that keep crossing.

01Full stack

Build the whole thing

I enjoy following a product from the first sketch to the database, interface, deployment, and the odd edge case hiding between them.

  • Web products
  • APIs
02Theory

Ask why it works

Algorithms, graphs, programming languages, and mathematical ideas are not side quests. They are the rabbit holes I happily keep returning to.

Learn a new surface

I am bringing that curiosity to native development now: learning Swift, building for iOS and tvOS, and caring about how software feels in the hand.

Have a web idea that is useful, strange, or both?

I can help shape it, build it, and make the small interactions feel considered.
