Innovative Android Developer with 11+ years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am an innovative Android Developer with over 11 years of experience in building high-performance mobile applications for Fortune 500 companies. My expertise lies in leading teams, mentoring developers, and collaborating with clients to deliver impactful solutions. I am passionate about modern Android development, utilizing technologies such as Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, Flow, and Hilt. I thrive in people-first teams that foster learning, collaboration, and best practices.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led Android development for multiple high-impact projects. Notably, I built an AI-powered AR application for a major auto event, leveraging TensorFlow Lite for real-time object recognition. I also played a key role in migrating a major auto client’s legacy Android app to Jetpack Compose, significantly modernizing the user interface and improving development efficiency. My work has consistently resulted in high user engagement, including a voice-ordering platform that drove over 500,000 mobile orders in just two years.
In addition to my technical skills, I have a strong background in optimizing CI/CD pipelines and integrating various technologies to enhance application performance. I am committed to delivering best-in-class mobile experiences and am always eager to embrace new challenges that push the boundaries of mobile development.
