About

I’m a Senior Android Engineer with 6.5 years of experience building and scaling native Android apps across early-stage startups, high-growth companies, and large-scale consumer platforms. I specialize in taking products from 0→1, building scalable Android architectures, and shipping features that drive real business outcomes. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across startups and scale-ups, contributing to products collectively serving 500M+ users. Highlights of my experience include: ◆ Built and shipped products from 0→1 in early-stage environments, including experience as a founding engineer at a profitable startup. ◆ Contributed to scaling a pre-IPO unicorn while helping build products and engineering systems that supported its journey toward EBITDA profitability. ◆ Led development initiatives at a Y Combinator-backed startup behind one of India’s leading UPI payment platforms. ◆ Contributed to Android applications collectively serving 500M+ users. ◆ Built production-grade Android applications using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, MVVM, MVI, and Clean Architecture. ◆ Focused on performance optimisation, maintainable architecture, engineering best practices, testing, and reliable delivery. I enjoy working at the intersection of product, engineering, and business understanding what needs to be built, making pragmatic technical decisions, and taking ownership from idea to production. I’m always interested in connecting with engineers, founders, and product teams building ambitious products. 📩 pranavjayaraj7@gmail.com
