I am a results-driven Senior Android Engineer with 12+ years of experience architecting and delivering high-performance mobile applications across mobility, healthcare, and enterprise domains. I specialize in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, MVVM, and Clean Architecture, and have a proven track record of modernizing legacy code, boosting app reliability to 99.9% crash-free sessions, and accelerating feature delivery. I thrive as a technical lead, mentoring cross-functional teams, promoting Agile practices, and exploring AI-assisted development workflows. I currently drive Android platform strategy at Zipcar, enabling thousands of users to experience seamless vehicle discovery, booking, and trips. Prior to Zipcar, I led scalable mobile platforms in the pharma and enterprise spaces, including the Retailio B2B platform at PharmEasy. I’ve shipped major modules, improved performance, and championed modular architectures with strong test coverage. I enjoy shaping modern development standards, CI/CD pipelines, and data-driven experimentation, and I’m excited about leveraging Compose Multiplatform, AI-assisted tooling, and open-source Android tooling to deliver value at scale.
