## About

I am a mobile engineering lead with 11\+ years of experience building and scaling consumer applications across fintech, insurance, gaming, and community platforms\. My core strengths are Android engineering, Flutter\-based iOS/Android delivery, mobile architecture, CI/CD, production reliability, performance optimization, backend/API integrations, and engineering leadership\.

My work includes platform foundations, onboarding/KYC, cross\-border remittance journeys, backend\-config\-driven experiences, AI\-native product explorations, document intelligence, OneView\-style portfolio consolidation, and credit workflows\. Previously, I led mobile development for Acko’s Health insurance business, where I worked on claims, policy servicing, wallet, fitness rewards, shared mobile architecture, CI/CD, and app performance\. Before that, I was an early Android lead at Rooter, where I helped build the Android app from scratch across gaming, live streaming, engagement, notifications, and experimentation systems\. I also built Gamerboard as a self\-funded mobile\-first gaming product\. I enjoy working on high\-ownership roles where I can combine hands\-on engineering, architecture, product thinking, mentoring, and execution\. I am especially interested in Staff Android, Android Architect, Mobile Platform, and Applied AI/mobile roles\. Core areas: Android, Kotlin, Java, Flutter, Dart, Clean Architecture, MVVM/MVI, Coroutines, REST APIs, GraphQL, Firebase, CI/CD, performance optimization, release governance, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot\.
