What I'm looking for

I’m looking for my next remote Android role, permanent or contract.

At BBC iPlayer, I contributed to the release of a short-form video player: a vertically scrolling feed for browsing and watching programme promos. I worked across the product lifecycle, from technical discussions and implementation through Play Store releases and post-release monitoring.

At Conferma, I contributed to rewriting the ConfermaPay app from Java to Kotlin and proposed and prototyped a single-codebase approach for the Visa white-label app. I also introduced a light and dark theming system and modernised components to meet WCAG AA accessibility standards.

Earlier, at Fulltime Gestora de Dados, I developed the company’s first native Android app and a battery-efficient background location service with offline storage and automatic sync. I’m back from a planned career break and looking for my next remote Android role, permanent or contract.
