I develop and maintain high-performance Android applications using Kotlin and Java with MVVM architecture, serving millions of users. I ensure near-zero crash and ANR rates through lifecycle optimization, memory tuning, and efficient background task management. I optimize REST API integrations to improve load times and enhance UI responsiveness. I integrate Firebase services, including Auth, Firestore, FCM, and Crashlytics, for secure access, real-time updates, and effective monitoring. I implement Google AdMob with policy-compliant placements, driving measurable revenue growth. Working in Agile/Scrum environments, I collaborate cross-functionally and take full ownership of features, from requirements gathering to Play Store release and post-launch monitoring.
