Esperienza lavorativa

Android Engineer

FlashNest • Lavoratore autonomo

Jun 2023 - Jan 20262 yrs 7 mos

Built and shipped an Android learning app for creating and studying flashcards with AI-assisted tutoring. • Architected an offline-first Android app using MVVM + Clean Architecture (UI/domain/data layers), accelerating feature delivery by 30% and reducing cross-feature coupling by 35% • Designed a reusable Jetpack Compose component system (Material 3, theming, state hoisting), cutting UI regressions by 40% and improving key screen load time by 25% • Built local persistence with Room (schema migrations + indexing) and resilient background jobs via WorkManager, enabling fully offline study and lowering sync-related defects by 60% • Hardened networking with Retrofit + OkHttp (timeouts, retries, caching, interceptors), decreasing failed requests by 35% in poor connectivity conditions • Integrated on-device sentence-transformers embeddings for semantic features (similarity/related concepts), achieving ~60ms median inference latency per query on mid-range devices, and reducing the token cost by up to 85% • Optimized embedding + search pipeline (batching, caching, lightweight indexing), shrinking peak memory by 25% and improving median response time by 45% • Re-architected Android state management and pagination using Kotlin Coroutines/Flow and Paging 3, lowering stale-UI and double-load edge cases by 50% and improving scroll smoothness by 20% • Instrumented crash reporting/analytics to prioritize fixes, lowering crash rate by 55% and sustaining 99.6% crash-free sessions among test users • Automated CI with GitHub Actions (build + unit tests + lint), decreasing regressions by 45% and cutting release verification time by 40% • Improved startup performance with baseline profile + lazy initialization, shrinking cold start time by 20% • Managed release workflows (versioning, ProGuard/R8, Play Console staged rollouts), maintaining 4.7/5 average rating in surveys filled out by test users, and stable rollouts with rollback-ready monitoring

Teaching Assistant

Sep 2025 - Dec 20253 mos

• Facilitated weekly discussion sections and coordinated grading/rubrics/feedback for 120+ students, maintaining consistent evaluation across groups • Designed assignment specs, rubrics, and exemplars to align with learning objectives, increasing group activity collaboration by 18% and bringing down regrade requests by 30% • Lectured 100+ students in an 80-minute guest session, increased next week’s attendance by 10%, and group activity score by 12% • Streamlined grading workflow (templates + tracking + QA passes), cutting turnaround time from 10 days to 7 days (~30% faster)

Graduate Student Researcher

Sep 2024 - Mar 20256 mos

• Built Python ETL pipelines (validation + normalization) over multi-source datasets totaling 5M+ rows, saving 70% manual preprocessing time • Applied ML trend analysis and synthesized outcomes into 12 stakeholder-ready research deliverables (reports, figures, summaries) used in ongoing project decisions • Redesigned research website information architecture and navigation, improving content discoverability and lowering bounce rate by 35% • Automated repeatable reporting (plots + tables) for research updates, decreasing weekly reporting effort by 50%
