Denis User
@castasat
Android engineer and founder specializing in Kotlin mobile apps, technical leadership, and rapid MVP delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am an Android engineer and founder with eight years of experience building Kotlin-based mobile applications and leading boutique B2B development services.
I have driven product impact—implementing features that increased user engagement by ~15% and managing transitions for 100,000+ users—while establishing agency processes that improved on-time delivery to 95%.
I architect and implement modern Android solutions using Clean Architecture, Jetpack Compose, multi-module design and robust CI/CD practices, and I routinely refactor legacy codebases to reduce bug-fix cycles and increase test coverage.
I hire and mentor cross-functional teams, lead client negotiations and project delivery, and am eager to bring hands-on technical leadership and collaborative problem-solving to teams building industry-leading mobile products.
