Lead close to the code
Direction lands better when architecture, UI detail, and tradeoffs stay visible.
Android craft, leadership, and full-stack delivery
Leads teams.Ships Mobile.
Director of Mobile / Android Engineer
I care about motion, spacing, and interaction detail. I also care about the architecture, release systems, and team habits that let great mobile work keep shipping.
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.
Operating mode
High velocity only works when the system stays readable.
Build teams that ship calmly
Clarity, trust, and standards matter more than performative process.
Think past the mobile layer
The app is one surface in a wider system of APIs, releases, observability, and partner constraints.
Portfolio wall
A tighter view of shipped apps.
The mobile surface matters, but so do the systems underneath it. This view keeps the work easier to scan without flattening it into a list of logos.

View projectStack and signal
The stack, grouped by what it moves.
Android stays at the center. The surrounding work reaches build systems, SDK design, cloud services, testing, and release operations.
Mobile UI craft
Compose, view systems, motion, and the details people feel before they can name them.
Platform decisions
SDK design, modularization, dependency strategy, and architecture that survives real teams.
Leadership systems
Hiring, mentoring, clear feedback, and keeping quality intact while speed stays high.
