@yazanaesmael
Senior Android engineer specializing in real-time Kotlin Multiplatform apps and Compose performance improvements.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Lead Android engineer who scaled a live, real-time consumer app from zero to 100,000+ users, engineering a concurrent Socket.IO layer with an always-fresh, never-stale caching model. I own features end to end—from conception through delivery—in fully distributed remote teams, and I lead migrations from native Android to shared Kotlin Multiplatform + Compose Multiplatform code.
I’m strongest in high-throughput real-time systems and polished consumer UX, cutting server payloads by 95% and reducing UI jank by 90% while improving startup time by 50%. I also set up CI/CD on GitHub Actions, mentored junior engineers, and advocate disciplined Compose patterns for measurable performance.
