What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an AI-first team where I can architect high-performance Android SDKs and real-time media pipelines—owning 0→1 delivery, optimizing rendering/performance, and mentoring others while using AI tooling to ship faster.

I’m an AI-first Senior Android Engineer with 7+ years building high-performance mobile SDKs, apps, and media pipelines. I’m the sole architect of a production video editing SDK from 0→1 in 4 months, cutting export time from 100+ seconds to under 20 seconds while keeping crash rates below 0.3%.

I’ve driven measurable outcomes across real-time rendering and developer velocity—slashing SDK binary size by 30%, improving UI smoothness by ~60% after migrating from React Native to native Android, and reducing battery/heat by 70% through GPU and thermal optimizations. I actively use Claude and Gemini to reduce repetitive work by 40–50%, and I enjoy mentoring teams, building modular architectures, and shipping quality-first media experiences.
