Product-minded, quality-first.
About Fiona Roch
Freelance senior software engineer with over 9 years of experience building web, mobile and AI products from the ground up. Through my own studio, Filabs, I build apps from scratch for startups worldwide, fully remote, and I am open to part-time engagements.
Founding engineer at two startups and founder of my own products, MenuNative and Omeet, I own products end to end, from first idea to launch. I am relentlessly product-minded: I ask why before building, ship the smallest MVP first, and weigh ROI against dev cost and time.
I learn new stacks fast and hold myself to an exacting standard for code quality. I obsess over the edge cases most engineers skip, and I take real pride in shipping robust code that stays stable in production.
How I work.
The right approach depends on the project, but my defaults don't change: robust, stable systems and the simplest design that does the job (KISS). I write code that anyone on the team can read, and I stay language-agnostic, choosing the right tool instead of a favorite one. I build the processes that keep quality high and remote teams fast across any time zone.

Let's build something.
I work remotely and I'm comfortable across any time zone. If you're building a web, mobile or AI product and want a senior engineer who ships, let's talk. Freelance, and part-time works too.
