I build scalable Android applications and lead modern mobile architecture migrations.
What I'm looking for
I've built and modernized Android products for Mercado Libre, Santander Río, AMC Networks, Sonifi Healthcare, and ModeOne, spanning banking, e-commerce, healthcare, Android TV, and digital forensics.
At Mercado Libre, I helped deliver a large-scale navigation migration by resolving Fragment-stack and state-management constraints near the deadline. At Inisoft Global, I led legacy modernization work including XML-to-Jetpack Compose migration, ExoPlayer stability improvements, and a reactive replacement for continuous background polling.
With more than 13 years in Android development, I enjoy turning complex business requirements into maintainable solutions, mentoring engineers, and guiding technical decisions. I'm looking to take on greater technical leadership while staying hands-on with high-quality Android applications.
