About

Portfolio first, product brand later.

I am a Senior iOS Developer with 10+ years of experience across iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. I have worked on government services, OTT streaming apps, and AI-assisted developer tools.

For now, Adidi is the public container for my profile, portfolio, blogs, experiments, and project ideas. Later, the same brand can host runnable apps and product prototypes under the .app domain.
