PAUL MATHEW
@paulmathew
Senior Android Engineer specializing in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, offline-first realtime systems, and premium consumer UX.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Android Engineer with 12+ years building large-scale consumer mobile applications used globally. I specialize in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, offline-first architectures, synchronization systems, and mobile performance optimization—focused on highly reliable, premium user experiences.
Most recently, I led Android initiatives for a global wellness platform serving users across 90+ countries, improving realtime reliability and scalable consumer experiences. I migrated legacy Java/XML UI layers to a Jetpack Compose architecture, shipped onboarding/discovery/live-session features, built offline-first synchronization infrastructure, integrated modular Zoom Video SDK components, and reduced ANRs by 64% through profiling and runtime optimizations.
I also build and validate real-world systems through production-first engineering habits: escalation ownership for critical Android/RTC issues, CI/CD and release automation improvements, and testing workflows covering ViewModel and realtime communication flows. Outside my day job, I design offline-first collaboration and RTC diagnostics platforms—like PulseSync and CallInspector—to stress reliability under unstable networks and uncover failures early.
