What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Kotlin/Android role where I can modernize legacy codebases, build device- and ML-driven features, and own performance, CI/CD, and reliable systems in a collaborative team.

I’m an Android Developer who modernizes legacy apps into fast, maintainable Kotlin architectures. At Tata Consultancy Services, I led the migration from a legacy Java/XML stack to 100% Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, improving frame rate from 15 to 25 FPS (65%+).

I focus on real-world reliability: I built a custom UI integrating Honeywell and ML Kit scanner SDKs, deployed on-device ML for real-time water detection and image blur detection, and integrated hardware peripherals like RFD-40 RFID, Zebra terminals, and NFC readers. I also set up CI/CD with Jenkins, used Firebase Crashlytics for stability monitoring, and leveraged Volley and Dagger-Hilt for networking and Dependency Injection.

Beyond Android, I enjoy end-to-end building—from secure backend systems to hardware and cross-platform apps. I engineered an internationally patented solar robot docking mechanism and controller/electronics with Arduino and 3D prototyping, and I create projects like CodeLabX (AWS-based multi-language compiler with JWT/Docker/RabbitMQ/Redis), Ripple (offline P2P messaging with Nearby Connections across Android/iOS), and Synapse (live streaming with Livekit SFU, AWS, JWT, and Firebase cloud messaging).
