About

I'm an Android Engineer with 8+ years of experience building robust, user-centric mobile applications using Kotlin, Java, and modern Android architecture. I'm the solo creator of Learn Kannada SmartApp - the world's top-ranked Kannada learning app with 6,00,000+ organic downloads, used in 100+ countries, and rated 4.6+ by 6,000+ users. I’ve handled everything end-to-end: design, development, infrastructure, monetisation, analytics, and user engagement. Professionally, I’ve contributed to impactful projects at Omnissa (formerly VMware), Ola Electric, Nokia, and Alcatel-Lucent, where I’ve built scalable Android features for millions of users, improved security pipelines, and modernized legacy apps. I’m passionate about building products with real-world impact, especially at the intersection of language, accessibility, and scale. I'm currently open to connecting with teams exploring product-building roles, Android leadership, or acquihire opportunities aligned with my background. Let’s build something meaningful together.
