Remote-first Android Developer with 6+ years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a remote-first Android Developer with over 6 years of experience in building user-centric, scalable mobile applications using Kotlin and Java. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as I have consistently delivered complex features end-to-end while thriving in fast-paced environments. I recently completed a Goldman Sachs-funded leadership program at IIM Bangalore, which has further enhanced my skills and leadership capabilities.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Senior Software Engineer at JohnsonHealthTech and Recro, where I contributed to innovative projects in the fitness and healthcare sectors. My expertise in developing software for gym machinery consoles and collaborating with cross-functional teams has allowed me to meet design requirements effectively and drive innovation. I am passionate about continuous learning and have recently upskilled in Kotlin and Supabase while freelancing on Android projects during a short health break.
