Senior Android Engineer with 3+ years shipping production apps used by 150M+ people. I specialize in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and MVVM architecture, with deep experience in Android Automotive OS and AAOS infotainment integrations. At JioSaavn, I led the automotive build variant for MG Motor and Harman, cutting memory usage by 58% and crashes by 95%. I migrated a legacy Java/XML codebase to Kotlin/Compose, reduced boilerplate by 40%, and cut login time by 52% through OAuth 2.0 and One-Tap integration. I have also worked on cryptography-related projects, such as the PRNG seed predictor, where my team developed an SMT model to guess the initial seed of MT-19937 PRNG using only three consecutive outputs. Our model found the seed in 200 seconds, while other available alternatives would take up to 5 minutes. I have also participated in the HackIITK hackathon, where my team was 2nd all over India. We created a Linux Intrusion Detection system to classify executables into benign or malware and further classify them into different malware categories. While pursuing my master's, I participated in many college CTFs as part of the PSU CCSO team. Our team was placed 5th at SimSpace 2025, a virtual cybersecurity competition to test Blue Team skills. I worked on log analysis and incident reporting using Splunk and Kibana. While pursuing a Master in Cybersecurity at Penn State, I am working on Zero-Knowledge proofs, ZK SPARKS (Groth16), writing proofs in Circom and Solodity, testing in Foundry, and exploring more opportunities!

I have over 3 years of Android development experience. I have led several B2B projects, working closely with the Senior Product Manager at JioSaavn and CTO of MG Motors for over 2 years. I spearheaded the development of an infotainment app at JioSaavn, improving user engagement by 20% and retention by 32%. Major improvements were made in event analytics and content suggestions while also focusing on smoother UX using the latest tech stack of Jetpack Compose. I have extensive experience in Kotlin, Jetpack compose, and MVVM architecture. I designed the module-based structure (or build variants) of the code base, which made it easier to develop model-specific features with less probability of bugs and easier QA testing. I also worked on memory optimization to cater to low-RAM devices. I reduced memory usage by 58% and improved user engagement through voice assistant integration. This made JioSaavn the sole infotainment service provider for AAOS-based vehicles in India. My experience extends to implementing security-focused solutions, reducing app crashes by 95%, and streamlining authentication flows using Google One-Tap SignIn and Auto-SMS Retriever APIs.
· Achieved a significant 14% memory usage reduction by seamlessly replacing fragments with Jetpack Navigation Component Screens, during the UI/UX overhaul with Jetpack Compose · Pioneered a remarkable 52% reduction in login time by innovatively integrating the Google One-Tap SignIn and Auto-SMS Retriever API, streamlining complex authentication flows to enhance user login efficiency
