What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior Android role where I can lead architecture, improve performance and reliability (including offline/NFC/geolocation), modernize legacy code to Kotlin, and collaborate with product teams on scalable features.

I’m a Senior Android Engineer and Executive Partner with over ten years of experience building reliable, high-impact applications for international clients. I lead mobile architecture and performance, manage project coordination and developer performance, and help drive clean, scalable Android solutions.

In my recent work, I’ve built and evolved Kotlin-first apps, including low-level NFC read/write and offline handling in limited-connectivity environments. Previously, I modernized Java codebases to Kotlin, delivered Jetpack Compose features with MVVM using FFmpeg and Lottie, and supported backend work with PHP/Laravel. I also bring experience from a tablet-based offline workflow for regulated testing and from location-based, battery-efficient Android tracking.
