Available for senior Android roles

Native Android craftsmanship for millions of users — Jetpack Compose, Generative AI, and privacy-first products that never leave the device.

About

Nine years shipping Android at enterprise scale — and building offline tools people can trust.

At Walmart Global Tech I lead reviews, ratings, and product sampling for the flagship app — Compose UI, LLM-assisted flows, CCM flags, and observability that keeps submission health visible.

Outside work I ship privacy-first Android apps: sealed audio, on-device gallery audits, offline password vaults, and read-aloud reading. Zero cloud when it shouldn't leave the phone.
