Android engineer. 9+ YoE. Kotlin. KMP, AppSec (MobSf, OWASP). Remote or hybrid. 8 Years Passport.
What I'm looking for
I am Android Engineer with over 9 years of experience in Kotlin (8 years), Jetpack Compose (2 years), mobile app security (4 years) and performance optimization. I’ve built and scaled Android applications across various industries including fintech, health tech, e-commerce, and geolocation. My technical strengths lie in native Android development using MVVM architecture, Compose Multiplatform, and applying OWASP MAS standards for app hardening and security testing using tools like Frida, MobSF, Objection and MITM proxy.
In recent years, I’ve contributed to high-traffic apps such as Geolancer (Quadrant.io), SehatQ, and myToyota Wallet (OPN/Omise), where I led key efforts in app performance, security implementation, SDK development and test automation. I’ve also taken on advisory and leadership roles, notably helping Rey.id migrate from React Native to native Android while integrating VIDA for secure KYC.
I’m passionate about secure mobile development, automation, and cross-platform innovations with Compose Multiplatform. Outside of work, I continuously upskill through hands-on learning in Swift, AI tools like Ollama using qwen3 and gemma3. I’m based in Indonesia, open to remote (with occasional visit) or hybrid opportunities and excited to collaborate with companies solving meaningful problems through technology.
