My Story
My journey with technology began at age 3 with a GameBoy, but it was the Commodore AMIGA 600 in the 90s that truly hooked me.
I realized I could break things, fix them, and build entirely new ones from scratch. That endless cycle of experimentation sparked a lifelong passion for software engineering.
My love affair with Android started in the era of 2.1 Eclair, when I hacked my HTC HD2 to run Android instead of Windows Mobile.
Shortly after, I started writing code for Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and I haven't looked back since. I even dedicated my Bachelor's thesis to Android, building a geofencing automation app called GeoTask.
Early in my career, I cut my teeth building Java web applications, but my heart was always in mobile. I relentlessly pursued the Android path until I could dedicate myself to it full-time.
Today, as a Senior Android Engineer, I specialize in crafting beautiful, high-performance apps using modern tools like Jetpack Compose and Kotlin Multiplatform.
I love what I do, and I'm always looking for the next technical challenge.

Work experience
Spearheading end-to-end development of native applications. Leveraging Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) to maximize code sharing with iOS, heavily contributing to both architectural design and final implementation.
Led development across multiple mobile apps with a relentless focus on code quality, CI/CD infrastructure, and agile workflows. Mentored junior engineers, conducted technical interviews, and cultivated a collaborative, ego-free engineering culture.
Co-founded and engineered a comprehensive financial advisor CRM (subsequently acquired by a partner). Built the full stack alongside a 3-person team, encompassing the backend, frontend web interface, and the native Android app.
Led the Android engineering team to architect and deliver the greenfield playMGM Casino app, successfully scaling it to over 1 million downloads.
Collaborated within a 3-person team to develop, maintain, and optimize multiple high-traffic sports betting Android applications.
Gained foundational experience in a large 8-person team, developing and maintaining enterprise web applications using JSF, Oracle/MySQL, and Tomcat.
Engineered and maintained robust J2EE backend applications utilizing Struts, SQL Server, and JBoss within a fast-paced 4-person team.
Awarded a merit-based scholarship to collaborate with the university IT department to manage the computer science laboratory, supporting students and faculty with technical issues.
Talks
A deep dive into the practical realities of sharing code between iOS and Android. Covered common architectural pitfalls, team dynamics, and actionable strategies for successfully integrating Kotlin Multiplatform into existing native codebases.
An interactive panel discussion exploring the future of cross-platform development, weighing the pros and cons of KMP against other frameworks, and sharing real-world adoption stories.
A deep dive into the practical realities of sharing code between iOS and Android. Covered common architectural pitfalls, team dynamics, and actionable strategies for successfully integrating Kotlin Multiplatform into existing native codebases.
Showcased techniques for accelerating Flutter development through code generation. Explored how automating boilerplate for declarative UIs can reduce bugs, enforce consistency, and drastically improve developer velocity.
Education
I am a lifelong learner. I actively participate in major tech conferences (like droidcon)—both as an attendee and a speaker—to stay at the bleeding edge of the mobile ecosystem and connect with the community.
