## About

I'm a Computer Scientist at Adobe Acrobat with 8\+ years of Android in production\. I lead growth, engagement, and monetization engineering for Acrobat Android — one of the most\-installed Android apps in the world \(1B\+ installs, 95M\+ MAU, Google Play Billing globally\)\. My work sits at the intersection of mobile architecture and revenue: → Payments & subscriptions\. I own the Acrobat Android in\-app payments platform end\-to\-end\. Most recently I designed and led the cross\-product subscription upgrade / downgrade / cross\-grade architecture — spanning 6 subscription products across 2 billing cadences \(12\+ SKUs\), modeled as a 12×12 logic grid covering every user\-state transition\. Shipped Jan 2026 with zero production incidents in 5\+ months since launch; design subsequently adopted by 2 other Acrobat apps in the organization\. → Growth engineering\. I led the engagement charter that grew annual subscription retention 35%, and shipped the server\-driven, context\-aware paywall surface that delivered a 15% FY24 upsell uplift\. → Mobile DevEx\. I build the automations that let our Android organization ship monetization changes weekly — a Figma design linter that catches RTL / dark\-mode / accessibility issues before review, an automated release\-branch cherry\-pick \+ Jira workflow, and a weekly executive KPI digest that auto\-generates the Monday leadership readout\. Mentoring engineers earlier in their careers is a meaningful share of what I do day\-to\-day\. Earlier I led mobile at Aon — CoCubes \(50K\+ downloads, 4\.1★\), Assessment \(150K\+ downloads, 4\.0★\), and the React Native v2 unifying iOS\+Android\. Started at Samsung R&D on Samsung Pay \(UPI/NPCI compliance\)\. I write about mobile payments architecture, subscription systems, and Android DevEx at rishabhships\.com\. On the open\-source side, I maintain renew\-kt — a Kotlin state machine for Google Play Billing subscriptions \(7 states, 11 events, RTDN adapter, 40\+ tests\)\. github\.com/rishabhships/renew\-kt I'm selectively open to senior/staff IC opportunities — mobile payments, mobile platform, monetization engineering\. Big Tech India GCCs, remote USD roles, or international relocation \(UK / EU / UAE\)\. I also take a small number of consulting engagements per quarter: payments architecture audits for consumer mobile apps with >100K MAU\. 📩 g\.rishabh2010@gmail\.com
