What I'm looking for

I seek senior Android/SDK roles where I can design scalable Kotlin/Compose apps and libraries, lead cross-functional teams, improve CI/CD and developer experience, contribute to open-source, and mentor engineers in a collaborative, remote-friendly environment.

I am a Senior Android Engineer with extensive experience building production-grade mobile apps and SDKs, leading Android architecture, and shipping features to millions of users.

As SDK lead and sole owner for a major Android SDK, I built a modular Kotlin/Jetpack Compose library that reduced client integration time by 40%, automated CI/CD to cut release cycles by 50%, and implemented security practices that lowered reported vulnerabilities and bug rates.

I have driven modernizations—migrating Java codebases to Kotlin, introducing Jetpack Compose, MVVM and Hilt—and led an Android team from 3 to 8 engineers while mentoring peers and improving developer productivity and app stability.

I enjoy cross-functional collaboration with backend and iOS teams, contributing to backend services when needed, championing automation and clean code, and creating open-source tools adopted by the community.
