What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote Android Engineer roles.

At Ministry of Programming, I contributed to scaling core trading functionality in the NAGA social trading app and built features within its MVI architecture. I reduced memory leaks by 50% and helped raise the crash-free user rate to 99.9%.

As a self-employed Software Engineer, I architected and built the PolyPins Android app from scratch with MVVM and Jetpack Compose. I’ve also built a custom Android kiosk launcher and developed apps including a Pomodoro app and an educational app for deaf children.
