What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

As a Senior Mobile Developer at Sun Communities, I enhanced and maintained the Sun Outdoors Android app, focusing on security, performance, and user experience. My work involved modernizing the UI by migrating legacy XML views to Jetpack Compose, which significantly improved the app's stability, reducing the crash rate from 7% to 0.3%. I implemented CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps, automating testing and deployments, which streamlined our development process.

Previously, I led the development of native Android applications at jācAPPS, where I managed projects with over 1M monthly users and developed an audio streaming library that supported millions of users across 20 applications. My role included mentoring junior developers and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality applications. Notable projects include the Today in the Word and Moody Radio apps, both of which received high ratings and significant user engagement.
