CanadaWhat I'm looking for
At VAMFI, I released Wallpaper Todo and Locsy, taking them from feature priorities and privacy decisions through testing, Google Play releases, and post-launch fixes. Wallpaper Todo reached 500+ Google Play downloads.
I built a custom Kotlin plugin that connects Flutter with Android WallpaperManager for home and lock screen wallpapers. I added API compatibility checks, structured error handling, resource cleanup, and JUnit coverage.
At Enghouse Systems — EspialTV, I developed Java/XML features for Android mobile and Android TV clients. I delivered ExoPlayer picture-in-picture for Android mobile and implemented WebSocket keepalives with automatic recovery to help preserve Emergency Alert System delivery.
