About Candidate
Senior Mobile Engineer with 5+ years of experience building secure, scalable mobile applications and modular SDKs across Android and iOS platforms.
I specialize in fintech, digital onboarding, and identity verification systems — including biometric authentication, OCR pipelines, and NFC-based e-passport solutions. My focus is on delivering production-grade mobile systems that are high-performance, secure, and easy to integrate.
At Idenfo and Cee Solutions, I have led development of multiple mobile applications and SDKs used by 100K+ users across international markets. I have also designed cross-platform SDKs (Android, Flutter, React Native) and collaborated on iOS integrations using Swift, helping reduce integration effort by up to 40%.
Technically, I primarily work with Kotlin, Clean Architecture, MVVM, and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) to build scalable and maintainable systems. I also have working knowledge of iOS development with Swift and experience contributing to cross-platform mobile ecosystems.
I enjoy solving complex engineering problems, optimizing performance, and building systems that scale reliably in production. Alongside hands-on development, I mentor engineers and contribute to architectural decisions across teams.
I’ve been recognized as Employee of the Year (2023) and Star Performer (2022) for delivering high-impact solutions and driving team success.
I’m currently open to impactful opportunities in fintech, identity, and platform engineering — especially remote roles where I can build systems at scale.
Let’s connect — open to remote opportunities and impactful collaborations.
