What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a passionate and resilient Android developer with over 6 years of experience in mobile application development. My journey began as a self-taught developer, and I have since contributed to projects for various start-ups and enterprise-level companies, including Bell Media's Crave App, which serves over 3 million subscribers. My ability to communicate effectively and collaborate with cross-functional teams has been key to my success in delivering high-quality applications.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong technical skill set, including expertise in Kotlin, Java, and various Android SDKs. I have successfully launched multiple applications, including Crave TV and CTV, while leading bug-fixing and feature development efforts. My commitment to creating user-friendly and accessible applications is evident in my work, where I have implemented features that enhance usability for all users. I take pride in mentoring junior developers and fostering a collaborative team environment, ensuring that we achieve our goals together.
