What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior role where I can lead Android architecture, ship performance-focused features, and collaborate cross-functionally—building scalable products with clean engineering practices, strong CI/CD, and great user outcomes.

I’m a Senior Android Developer with 12+ years building scalable mobile applications across IoT, Education, Sports, and Big Data. I lead with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and modern Android architecture (MVVM, MVI), and I’m comfortable extending into iOS and backend systems when the product demands it.

In my recent role, I led a 6-engineer cross-platform mobile team (3 Android, 3 iOS), drove Android architecture standards across 9 production apps, and shipped major features for multiple high-install apps (100K+ installs each). I’ve also delivered measurable performance wins—like cutting a student-data load from ~90s to ~2s (45x)—and I enjoy solving deep integration and lifecycle issues that directly impact reliability and user experience.
