What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my Android development skills to create impactful applications.

I am an innovative and results-driven Android Engineer with over 5 years of experience in designing, developing, and maintaining high-performance Android applications. My expertise lies in utilizing Kotlin, Java, and Jetpack libraries to create scalable architectures using MVVM and MVP. I am a strong advocate for clean code, modular design, and Agile practices, which has allowed me to lead successful SDK development and modernize app architectures.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proven success in refactoring legacy Java components into modular Kotlin code, improving maintainability by 40%. My role as a Senior Android Developer at Visa Inc. involved leading the development of Android features for high-visibility financial products, where I integrated modern data management techniques and optimized user experiences. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional results.
