Mobile Engineer, Tech Mentor

I am a mobile and web developer, technical mentor, and consultant with over 15 years of experience. While I currently specialize in mobile development, both native and cross-platform, my background includes significant work on frontend and backend systems, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the entire development lifecycle. If you are interested in discussing architecture for your mobile app — from backend services to client-side implementation — or if you need a mentor or code reviewer, please feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or Twitter.

Connect: gRPC that "works everywhere"

gRPC is a powerful and efficient technology, but it does not work reliably on the web platform without workarounds such as an Envoy proxy. Connect is a protocol and library that reimagines gRPC to work seamlessly across mobile, web, and server environments. In this talk, I will introduce the Connect protocol and demonstrate how it enables Flutter and Dart applications to leverage modern, type-safe RPC across all platforms. I will include a live coding session showing how to build a Dart/Flutter client for a Connect-enabled backend, illustrating how this approach aligns with Dart’s "run everywhere" philosophy. You will leave with a practical understanding of how to adopt Connect to bring true cross-platform gRPC to your apps.
