About

As a Senior Software Engineer at InMobi, I have been working on the Spaces platform, News Library, Sports Library, and SDK for over two years. My focus has been on handling production issues like janky frames, memory leaks, and WebView pooling. I have developed highly scalable apps with a reactive architecture using MVI for seamless Jetpack Compose integration. I have also employed clean architecture with MVVM for other apps to ensure maintainability and testability. Additionally, I have utilized JankStats to track and reduce janky frames, ensuring a smooth user experience. I have designed and implemented a WebView pooling strategy to efficiently manage and reuse WebViews, optimizing app performance. Furthermore, I have integrated an app startup library to minimize startup times and enhance user experience. I have followed a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach throughout my projects, ensuring high-quality code and efficient testing. I am passionate about creating innovative and user-friendly mobile applications that meet the needs of diverse users. I am always eager to learn new technologies and frameworks to improve my skills and deliver exceptional results.
