At NOUSdigital, I work on ORFON / ORF TVthek, a video-on-demand app for Austria's national broadcaster. I handle bug fixes and new features across mobile, tablet, Android TV, Fire TV, and automotive using one shared Kotlin codebase.

At Arzif Group, I co-founded a crypto exchange as CTO and built the ARZIF trading app in Kotlin and MVVM, including real-time price updates and order flows. I also built blockchain-facing APIs for wallets and transactions.

At Golrang Industrial Group (Golrang System), I led a 6-person Android team maintaining six live apps, while continuing to write code and mentor junior developers. My M.Sc. research focused on NLP and speech processing, and I also worked on deep learning research at High Intelligence Solutions.
