What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own Android/Kotlin feature development end-to-end—designing architecture, integrating APIs, and strengthening quality through unit testing—so teams can ship reliable products with measurable improvements.

I’m a Senior Android developer with 12 years of experience delivering production applications across domains like in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), healthcare (life critical medical class III devices), navigation, e-commerce, and utility/education apps. I’ve worked on HERE Navigation, integrated with VHAL for data consumption, and built module-level features for media playback and audio settings.

I’m hands-on with modern Android engineering practices—Kotlin, coroutines, Kotlin Flow, MVVM/MVP, REST/JSON/XML, and AIDL—while keeping quality high through unit testing and TDD. At work, I developed a screenshot utility for multilingual UI testing and drove a near 50% reduction in manual verification, including designing app architecture from scratch for IVI media.
