At National Aerospace Science & Technology Park (NASTP), I architected and deployed an enterprise Android MDM platform for a major defence organisation, managing 500+ devices across secure facilities. I lead a four-engineer team delivering device policy, app management and platform features.

At NASTP, I also build and customize the open-source Conversations Android XMPP client and K-9 Mail / Thunderbird Android email client to meet company requirements. I integrate Conversations with an ejabberd-based XMPP messaging server.

Earlier, at National Center for Cyber Security (NCCS), I led AOSP/GrapheneOS hardening and built BYOD and enterprise MDM capabilities. My work has also included privileged system apps, OTA updates, SELinux-focused hardening, Android application releases and Play Console ownership.
