My passion for data, psychology and growth keeps me pushing towards products with exceptional engagement and retention. Apps that become part of daily habits, collect 5★ reviews, and take app store charts by storm. They're so good, people can't help but invite friends and family.

Community and gamification mechanics lead to a high-dopamine experience. Playful motion and an obsession over details make every screen a delight. AI features feel truly magical.
