Mobile leadership and product engineering

Elliot
Mitchell

Director of Mobile / Android Engineer

Built Android apps for 14 years. Spent the last 6 leading teams, growing engineers, and obsessing over the gap between fast and good - and yes, I still write the code.

Director of Mobile.
Android architect.
Still in the code.

I've been the IC building the app, and I've been the manager shipping the team. Currently Director of Mobile at Lucra Sports, where I built the Android app end-to-end in 6 months and architected an SDK for third-party distribution — while leading the team doing it. I've been writing Android for 14 years and I prefer doing both at once.
