What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, focusing on mobile development.

As a Lead Android Developer at RBC, I spearhead our Android platform team, driving successful release cycles and ensuring robust application performance. My expertise in Kotlin, along with the MVVM architecture and Coroutine, has enabled us to innovate and enhance user experiences, particularly with projects like in-app PDF viewing and secure multi-factor authentication.

With a strong background in mobile development, I have previously led the development of the PointClickCare Companion app and co-founded CoHealth, where I was instrumental in building early versions for both Android and iOS. My commitment to quality is reflected in my implementation of automated testing and security features, ensuring that our applications are not only functional but also secure and user-friendly.
