Jesus Ernesto Valdez Almaral
@jesusernestovaldezal
I build and lead Android mobile products, from fleet apps and micromobility payments to IoT experiences.
MexicoWhat I'm looking for
I've led Android architecture modernization at Routeware for a fleet app used by 18,000+ drivers across 88M+ households, and I worked on consumer mobile apps for Spin and Tier in the payments area.
Across Menumy, Handy, Juicero, and Whimlike, I've built Android and iOS apps, Django backends, and IoT-connected experiences. I also led engineering teams and product planning, including accessibility projects such as a robotic prosthesis and anti-decubitus mattress at Markoptic.
I teach programming through Hackaprende to 60,000+ students in 110+ countries and enjoy building side projects such as Todogs, a cross-platform dog-breed collection game using on-device TensorFlow classification.
