What I'm looking for

I am looking for a senior mobile role where I can lead Android architecture, mentor engineers, work with Kotlin/Compose and CI/CD, and drive product-quality improvements.

I am a Senior Android Developer with five years of experience building and shipping high-performance, native Android applications using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. I focus on multi-modular clean architecture, CI/CD automation, and applying best practices to ensure maintainable, testable code.

I have led migrations from React Native and Cordova to native Kotlin apps, implemented Kotlin Multiplatform experiments, and optimized critical flows such as payments and search to improve performance and engagement. I mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and run knowledge-sharing sessions to uplift team capabilities.

I am committed to continuous innovation and pragmatic problem solving, with hands-on experience integrating platform SDKs (Google/Huawei), implementing TDD, and designing scalable app architectures that support rapid feature delivery and high code quality.
