About

With more than 10 years of experience, I’ve built applications ranging from small-scale products to large-scale platforms serving over 13 million users worldwide. I have strong expertise in Android application development. Currently, I’m a Lead Android Developer at THE ICONIC, a Sydney-based online fashion and sports retailer. I lead Android development initiatives, drive architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and deliver features that create measurable business impact, such as Homepage Refresh, Style Lens, Loyalty, and Product Reviews. My team and I have successfully migrated most of the app to Jetpack Compose, significantly improving development efficiency through a declarative UI approach. I also have experience in the financial sector, where I developed a stock trading app with key features such as KYC, biometric authentication, and real-time socket connections. In addition, I’ve worked in the entertainment industry, contributing to one of the leading comic platforms with over 13 million users. I led the development of several major features, including INKR Vision, redesigned the comic viewer to support multiple reading modes (vertical, horizontal, and webtoon), implemented a custom RecyclerView layout manager, and built a Content Section module to support scalable UI expansion. My focus is on modern Android development using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and clean architecture principles. I enjoy working closely with product and design teams to build intuitive, high-performing user experiences. With a diverse background across industries, strong expertise in object-oriented programming, and additional experience in iOS and Flutter development, I’m always open to new challenges and confident in my ability to adapt quickly to different environments.
