About me
Intro
Android developer with 9 years building apps that scale. Built 2 apps from scratch to 1M+ downloads each, then maintained a portfolio of 5-6 apps (90M+ combined downloads) for the last 5 years. I ship complete products - architecture, implementation, deployment, maintenance. Performance is always the priority. Kotlin, MVVM, Coroutines, Flow in production. XML layouts because Compose wasn't fast enough for my use case. Top 1% on Stack Overflow (14k rep, Android tag).
