What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration, where I can lead impactful projects and continue to grow as a developer.

I am a passionate Lead Android Developer with extensive experience in designing and implementing innovative mobile applications. Currently, I am leading the development of user verification features at Shaadi.com, enhancing user trust and engagement. My journey in mobile development has been marked by significant contributions, including the successful launch of the Astrochat app, which has achieved over 500,000 installs and a remarkable 99.2% crash-free session rate.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on performance optimization and maintainable code, utilizing modern Android best practices and architectures such as Clean Architecture and Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile (KMM). My previous roles as a Senior Android Developer at Planet Marathi and The Parentinc have allowed me to mentor teams and drive projects that significantly enhance user experiences. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can share my knowledge and contribute to the growth of my peers.
