What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning in Android development.

As a Senior Android Engineer with extensive experience in developing innovative mobile applications, I have dedicated my career to enhancing user experiences through robust and efficient coding practices. My journey began at Persistent Systems, where I led the design and development of internal Android apps, and has since evolved through various roles at industry leaders like Ola, Dunzo, GoJek, and Spotify.

At Spotify, I focus on improving Premium offerings for low willingness-to-pay audiences in Asia, particularly India. I employ the Bazel build system for optimized build times and ensure 100% unit test coverage using Kotlin and Mobius architecture. My commitment to full-stack development is evident through my contributions to backend PRs and my collaborative work with cross-functional teams.

Beyond my engineering roles, I actively engage in community outreach as a Tech Evangelist, sharing insights on Android and Mobius architecture through presentations and articles. I also mentor aspiring developers, helping them build a strong foundation in software engineering and Android development.
