What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote Lead or Senior Android roles in product-focused teams where I can own architecture, improve reliability (crash/ANR), mentor engineers, and ship user-facing features end-to-end with scalable, maintainable Android practices.

I’m a Lead Android Engineer with 10+ years of experience shipping production-grade mobile apps used by hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. I specialize in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, and I build scalable Android architecture that supports reliable, fast delivery—from clean modular design through Play Store launch.

In my most recent role, I led Android engineering for a telecom self-service platform, enabling 100,000+ monthly users to manage billing, complaints, modems, routers, parental controls, content blocking, and repair requests—all from a single Android app. I improved crash-free sessions to 98.5% and reduced ANRs by 30% through structured error handling, StrictMode audits, and systematic memory profiling, while redesigning architecture to MVVM + Clean Architecture to accelerate feature delivery and enable parallel team development. I also lead and mentor teams (5 engineers), drive high-quality code reviews, and collaborate cross-functionally to ship complex user-facing features on time.
