I build reliable Android apps for high-traffic consumer products and learning platforms.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
At Quizlet, I build Android features for a learning platform used by 60M+ people each month. I delivered the Android phone-number sign-up flow, contributing to a 2.66% lift in Brazil sign-ups before worldwide rollout.
I contribute to Quizlet's SDUI framework, enabling new screens and A/B tests with little-to-no code changes. I also designed a plug-and-play SDUI webview module to bring web features into the app faster.
Previously at Infosys, I worked on the high-traffic My Telenet app, pioneered Jetpack Compose and Unidirectional Data Flow, and led a multi-modular architecture migration. I improved the Play Store score by 1.5 points while maintaining a crash-free rate above 99.8%.
Across e-commerce, social networking, telecoms, logistics, and learning products, I own Android work from scoping through release and production fixes. I enjoy mentoring, improving software design, and advancing AI-assisted engineering practices, and I’m open to cross-platform mobile work with KMP and Flutter.
