What I'm looking for
I’m an Android Developer with over 4 years of mobile application experience, focused on building and improving Android and Flutter products. I’m a motivated, self-starting problem solver who enjoys code and design, and I take pride in reliable releases, clean architecture, and performance-focused work.
In my recent role, I build a Kotlin-based social media app using MVVM, including leading a migration from Xamarin (C#) to native Android (Kotlin) while fixing compatibility issues, crashes, and integration problems. I also develop advanced photo/video editing features, resolve flow issues across stories/feed/reels, and independently integrate Google Authentication, Retrofit APIs with error handling, Firebase Cloud Messaging, and real-time chat via socket communication.
