About

Android Engineer | Fintech & Payments | Kotlin, Jetpack Compose I'm an Android engineer with 5+ years of experience building and maintaining production mobile applications, with a strong focus on fintech, payments, B2B products, and user-focused experiences. Currently, I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Mintoak, working across multiple Android projects serving Indian and global markets. I take features from product discussions and technical planning through development, testing, release, and continuous improvement — working closely with product, design, QA, backend, and engineering teams along the way. Before Mintoak, I was at Swipe (YC S21), contributing to production B2B SaaS applications in a fast-paced environment that demanded reliable releases and maintainable engineering practices. What I work with → Android development using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, MVVM, Coroutines, and modern Android architecture → Fintech & payment applications, where reliability, security, and predictable user flows matter → Offline-first experiences and local data management using technologies like Room → Cross-platform development with Flutter when the product calls for it → Integrating mobile applications with APIs, working closely with backend teams → Performance optimization, debugging, production issue resolution, testing, and release management → Turning product requirements and user problems into practical technical solutions How I like to work I enjoy being involved in the full product workflow — understanding why a feature matters, discussing trade-offs with product and design, figuring out the technical approach, implementing it, and learning from how it performs once it reaches users. I believe strong engineering teams grow through knowledge sharing — code reviews, mentoring, documentation, and open technical discussions. I enjoy helping teammates work through problems, sharing what I've learned, and learning from the engineers around me. My focus: building software that's reliable, maintainable, performant, and genuinely useful to the people using it. Currently 📍 Gurugram, India 💼 Senior Software Engineer — Mintoak 🎓 B.Tech in Computer Science — Guru Jambheshwar University of Science & Technology 🏅 TuteDude: Android & Flutter Developer Certified | Kotlin Certified I'm always glad to connect with engineers, product people, founders, and teams working on fintech, payments, B2B SaaS, and mobile products. If you're building something interesting, tackling a hard mobile problem, or just want to exchange ideas — let's connect.
