About

I’m Rita Pinto, a Software Engineer with a strong focus on building practical AI-powered systems and modern mobile experiences. I recently worked as an Android Developer at Bliss Applications, where I helped migrate a production app from a legacy Activity-based architecture to Jetpack Compose, scaling adoption from a small portion of the codebase to nearly all new UI work without losing functionality. I also contributed to building foundational UI/navigation patterns for another mobile app from scratch, and delivered production-ready features during my internship as part of a Kotlin + Jetpack Compose team.
