About

As a Technical Lead at Times Internet with over six years of focused Android development experience, I specialize in mobile architecture and crafting seamless user experiences. My work on the TOI+ module includes implementing payment gateways such as Google Play Billing and Juspay, alongside managing plan creation on the Google Play Billing Console. By leveraging clean code principles and refactoring legacy systems, I ensure robust and scalable solutions that align with user needs and organizational goals. My mission is to enhance premium user experiences through innovative payment integrations and modular codebases. I have contributed to building ad SDKs supporting platforms like Google Ads and Facebook Audience Network while maintaining high-quality standards in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Passionate about driving Android excellence, I collaborate across teams to deliver secure, reliable, and user-centric mobile products.
