Building Android
that runs at
scale
Senior Android Engineer with 10+ years building platform architecture, media systems, and performance-critical subsystems — video/audio pipelines, CI/CD, startup performance — for apps used by millions. Lately I've been stretching into web and iOS through AI-assisted development with Claude Code and Cursor. I've never thought of myself as a finished book; curiosity keeps pulling me toward new things, and I love working with great people and going the extra mile to get things done right.
A platform engineer who ships.
I've spent the last decade going deep on Android — from a junior dev in Kerala shipping client work, to owning core platform systems at Mindvalley serving millions of users.
My focus is the infrastructure layer: media playback, performance, CI/CD, app architecture. The kind of work that doesn't ship as a feature, but every feature depends on.
I care about measurable outcomes — crash rates, cold-start times, build durations — and I work across Kotlin Multiplatform, React Native, and Next.js / Node.js when the product needs it.
Lately I've been leaning hard into AI-assisted engineering — building team workflows with Claude Code and Cursor, writing custom agents, and standardizing how my team ships Android with AI in the loop.
Where I’ve worked.
- MindvalleySenior Android Engineer2023 — PresentAndroid Engineer2020 — 2023
- Own core Android platform components — media playback, performance infrastructure, build optimization — across multiple high-traffic apps.
- Re-architected video/audio playback with ExoPlayer + Media3: reusable media libraries, downloads, advanced playback controls. Significant stability gains on low-end devices.
- Lifted crash-free sessions from 97% → 99.6% by stabilizing high-risk modules, raising unit test coverage, and hardening error handling.
- Cut app cold-start by 30% using Baseline Profiles and startup optimization.
- Integrated Jetpack Compose into production features through reusable composables.
- Tuned CI/CD on Bitrise + GitHub Actions, reducing build times 15% via caching and automated quality gates.
- Built a Kotlin Multiplatform PoC for shared user-account logic across Android and iOS.
- Introduced AI-assisted engineering workflows with Claude, standardizing Android best practices across the team.
- Rapid Value Solutions (Aspire Systems)Software Developer2019 — 2020
- Improved performance and feature stability on the Falabella e-commerce app (5M+ downloads).
- Re-engineered login and registration on MVVM — 15% perf improvement, fewer ANRs.
- Migrated DI from Dagger to Koin, lifting developer productivity by ~50%.
- EntriProduct Engineer (Android)2019
- Shipped Android features for exam-prep and community learning (5M+ downloads).
- Built scalable features on MVVM with a modular design.
- Improved stability via unit testing and tight product/design collaboration.
