What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a fully remote Android developer role where I can build and ship native apps end-to-end, collaborate effectively across time zones, and deliver reliable Firebase/REST integrations with strong engineering practices.

I’m an Android Developer with 2+ years of professional experience and 2+ years of remote freelance work (2022–2024), focused on building native, end-to-end mobile apps. I’ve shipped 10+ apps to the Google Play Store, combining strong Android fundamentals with reliable backend integration.

In freelance roles, I work independently with remote clients—managing communication, requirements, and delivery across time zones. I built an online tutoring platform app with live scheduling, student-tutor matching, and Firebase real-time data, and I developed an English-to-Urdu tracing/learning app for children with smooth gesture-based interactions.

Previously at Planet01 (2021–2022), I developed and maintained Android apps using Java, Kotlin, and REST APIs as part of a product team. I shipped multiple e-commerce apps to the Google Play Store, handling UI, API integration, and Firebase backend while collaborating in an agile workflow using Git/GitHub.

I bring disciplined engineering practices—CI/CD, unit testing, push notifications, in-app chat, and payment gateway integration—to every project. I’m now seeking a fully remote Android developer role where I can deliver high-quality features and keep shipping apps users can trust.
