SAMSON
MESKELE
I design and build web and mobile apps using React and Next.js, while leading a small team. I also create brand designs and help test AI models.
Sheet 02/06Summary
One person, most of the stack a small studio needs.
I lead NextDev as founder and frontend developer, building web and mobile applications with React, React Native, Next.js, and Kotlin. Outside client work, I take on AI training and prompt-engineering contracts — evaluating models, labeling data, and testing how they respond — plus digital marketing, graphic design, and customer support when a project calls for it.
The throughline is the same in every discipline: fewer handoffs, and a product that actually ships.
