Senior Android engineer building design systems, SDKs, and reliable fintech mobile foundations.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Android Engineer focused on the mobile infrastructure products run on—design systems, SDKs, and modular architectures that help teams move fast without accumulating debt. My work spans fintech, digital identity, and consumer apps across Africa, the Middle East, and the US.
At Banque Misr, I architected a Jetpack Compose design-system framework shared across product modules, cutting UI development effort by ~30% while enforcing visual and behavioral parity. I also led performance and reliability work, driving a 99.5% crash-free session rate by diagnosing ANRs, memory leaks, and network-edge regressions.
I’ve built secure, extensible platforms end to end—from taking a high-security digital identity wallet from zero to worldwide launch with AES-256 encryption, biometric auth, and document scanning, to designing a white-label plugin system for runtime branding and business logic injection. I care deeply about real-world performance on constrained hardware and increasingly want to work at the intersection of mobile and physical hardware via Android companion apps over BLE.
