What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As a lead mobile engineer with over 7.5 years of experience, I specialize in multiplatform mobile development, focusing on system architecture and performance optimization. My journey has taken me through diverse industries such as Fintech, Edtech, E-commerce, and Ad-tech, where I have consistently delivered high-quality applications that enhance user experience and drive business growth.

At Allen Digital, I played a pivotal role in re-architecting the mobile codebase, enabling a scale-up from 10K to over 5M installs. I led a team of engineers, driving the adoption of Kotlin Multiplatform and achieving a remarkable 70% shared codebase for Android and iOS. My initiatives, including the development of a patent-pending server-driven UI SDK, have significantly improved our app's performance and reduced release cycles. I am passionate about mentoring and fostering a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and excellence.

Previously, at Jar, I was instrumental in scaling the Android app from 0 to over 20M downloads, contributing to an impressive annual revenue of $110M. My technical expertise in Kotlin Multiplatform and my ability to integrate complex features have consistently resulted in enhanced app performance and user satisfaction. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills to create impactful solutions.
