React NativeTypeScriptNode.jsPostgreSQLRedisOpenAI APIs

ReCode IDE — an AI code editor that lives in your pocket.

Mobile developers were underserved: existing options were either glorified textareas or thin clients dependent on a server. I designed ReCode to sit in between — a native-feeling editor with repo-aware AI, a lightweight sync layer and enough terminal to unblock real work.

The core challenge was trust: early builds applied AI completions silently and users switched it off within a day. The rebuild made the AI propose and the human apply — a small product decision that changed the whole adoption curve.

Challenge

Keyboard-driven editing on a phone, memory ceilings and AI latency all fight the user.

Outcome

Private beta with a working AI pair-programmer on mobile — same model, better contract.

06.How I work

From Idea to Product.

A repeatable rhythm that keeps ambiguity low and quality high — the same process behind every project here.

01

Discover

Understand the problem, the user and the constraints before any code. Ask the questions that change the plan.

02

Plan

Map the architecture, scope the first release and define what 'done' means — ruthlessly minimal.

03

Design

Shape the interface and interaction model — a clear experience is a specification in itself.

04

Build

Ship in small vertical slices, keep the system boring where it should be and preview everything early.

05

Refine

Measure, listen and polish. Performance and feel are features, and they ship last on purpose.

I don't build software just to make something work. I build it to make the experience feel effortless.

01

Scalability

Design for the load you'll plausibly have, not the peak you imagine. The right architecture makes tomorrow's growth boring.

02

Maintainability

Code is read a hundred times more than it's written. Clarity and documented decisions compound into fewer expensive rewrites.

03

User experience

Every interaction is a promise. If a flow feels confusing, that's a spec bug — not a user failure.

04

Performance

Speed isn't a launch task; it's a habit with a number attached. I keep budgets and re-check them on every release.

05

Clean architecture

Keep the core decoupled from the tools. When the framework or cloud changes, the product logic shouldn't have to.

06

Product thinking

The best system design starts from what users feel, not what the code looks like. A feature nobody understands is a liability.

07.Social proof
