What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and deliver scalable Android products end-to-end, especially in fast-moving cross-functional environments where performance, secure payments, architecture, and mentorship matter.

I've led Android delivery for American Eagle Outfitters, HSBC Mobile Banking, and JioHome, building checkout, payments, secure financial modules, and scalable product experiences used by millions.

At American Eagle Outfitters, I independently led checkout and transaction modules for 100K–300K daily active users, improving checkout load time by 30–50%. I've delivered Braintree and Adyen integrations, Keycloak authentication, and modular architecture migrations from design through production.

I build with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Clean Architecture, MVVM, and modular systems, and I enjoy improving performance, stability, and team velocity. I've also led Android teams, mentored engineers, and delivered BLE and GPS crew-tracking systems operating at Delhi and Brussels international airports.
