About

I’m a senior mobile engineer with deep Android expertise, focused on turning product ideas into polished, production-ready experiences. I work closely with product and design, from early tradeoff discussions through implementation, testing, and release.

Android is my core specialization, and I’ve also contributed significantly to iOS development. My approach balances delivery speed, product quality, and long-term maintainability through pragmatic architecture and AI-assisted workflows that improve planning and iteration speed while keeping engineering standards high.

Recent Project Work

Selected Android project work across recent production releases and personal architecture-focused development.

Edit Playlist

Implemented playlist editing for a Hatch Baby Android release using MVI architecture. A single immutable UI state drove the feature, while a layered architecture built around use cases and repositories kept the ViewModel focused and the Add and Edit flows easier to reason about and test. The result was a stable shipped experience with a clean foundation for future iteration.

Routine Swap

Built a routine swap flow for Restore 3 to let users change routines without breaking schedule constraints or losing structure. The implementation used explicit state transitions, along with a layered architecture built around use cases and repositories, to keep the flow clear, reliable, and easy to maintain. It shipped as a polished first release and established a strong base for future routine management improvements.

Personal Project · Android

Rick and Morty Compose

Built a personal Android project to showcase the architecture I prefer for production apps. It uses a layered, modularized architecture overall, with MVI in the view layer for clear, predictable state management and maintainable feature development as the app grows.
