What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead Android product and module architecture for large-scale apps—using Kotlin/Jetpack Compose and modern async patterns—while applying GenAI automation to reduce friction, improve code review quality, and ship reliably.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer / Android Lead with 12+ years of hands-on experience architecting large-scale mobile applications, leading sprints, and collaborating cross-functionally to deliver business-critical outcomes.

I specialize in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and modern asynchronous frameworks, with a focus on transforming legacy architectures into scalable systems—at times supporting up to 30M DAUs.

At Walmart+, I owned full lifecycle Android feature delivery (greenfield module architecture to production), including retention experiences like Activity Tracker, Savings Dashboard, and Value Projector. I also pioneered an LLM-driven workflow that generated Mermaid architecture diagrams for complex pull requests, slashing code review efforts by 20%.

I’ve further driven measurable engineering excellence by automating developer onboarding (48–72 hours down to 1–2 hours for a 10-engineer pod), integrating savings modules with strict performance/error metrics and 95% test coverage via Sonar quality gates, and modernizing apps to reduce crash rates from ~8% to under 0.75%.
