<p>Developed and maintained native Android features for Economic Times and ET Markets, built using Kotlin and Java, serving apps with 10M+ downloads.</p><p> Contribute to production Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) development, sharing business logic, data models, and networking functionality across multiplatform modules.</p><p> Work with Ktor for networking, Koin for dependency injection, and SQLDelight and Multiplatform Settings for shared data and persistence requirements.</p><p> Implement reactive state management using Kotlin Coroutines and Flow with MVVM/MVI principles to improve consistency and maintainability across shared modules.</p><p> Wrote a custom networking library module used across multiple applications, implementing response caching, Protobuf serialisation, and Cronet transport to reduce payload size and request latency on slower connections.</p><p> Reduced crash rates by 20% by strengthening error handling across feed and networking layers.</p><p> Architected the ET Prime subscription flow, including entitlement checks, plan management, and payments, and modularised it into a reusable SDK adopted by five other applications.</p><p> Integrated GenAI features into the Android app using OpenAI-compatible LLM APIs and the Grok API, with a Kotlin client layer handling prompts, requests, streamed responses, timeouts and error fallback.</p><p> Improved application cold-start performance by 25% through startup profiling and offloading non-critical initialisation from the main thread.</p><p> Handle Play Console releases: staged rollouts, app signing, pre-launch reports and crash triage after each rollout.</p><p> Added GrowthRx, Firebase Analytics, and Crashlytics instrumentation, which the product now uses to decide feature priorities.</p><p> Follow a test-driven approach on new modules, writing unit and UI tests with JUnit, Mockk and Espresso; owned modules sit at 75%+ coverage. Releases go out through CI/CD pipelines on Git-based workflows.</p><p> Mentored 4+ junior Android developers through code reviews and technical discussions, introduced AI-assisted development tools including Claude, Kiro, and Cursor, and collaborated with product, design, QA, and backend teams in Agile Scrum sprints.</p>
