I’ve been building production Android apps for years in Kotlin with modern architecture, moving teams from legacy XML patterns into Jetpack Compose. I shipped the Dawak Health & Fitness app from scratch and helped scale it to 10,000+ downloads with stability and retention.

At Tangent International, I led a Compose migration, integrated PCI-compliant payments via the PayTabs SDK, and built real-time location experiences with Google Maps SDK and custom overlays. I also instrumented Firebase Analytics events and funnels so the product team could make decisions from real user behavior.

Before that, at Systems Limited, I migrated the codebase from Dagger 2 to Dagger Hilt and delivered offline-first flows backed by Room DB and sync strategies. I shipped full Arabic/English RTL localization for GCC market launches and worked across Jetpack Navigation, LiveData, DataBinding, and Room DB.

Earlier, I implemented Clean Architecture with MVVM and DI with Dagger 2 at Appiskey (PNC Solution), translating UI/UX into XML + DataBinding screens with state managed through LiveData. I started with an Android internship using Java and XML, plus foundational exposure to PHP and SQL.
