Android Engineer

  • I was an Android Engineer and Tech Lead at Luno, a cryptocurrency company. I worked in three cross-functional teams: a team tasked with ensuring the security of customers, another tasked with driving customer engagement through a rewards programme, and lastly, a team focussing on registration and onboarding.
  • During my time at Luno, the app has evolved significantly. My team and I migrated the entire codebase from Java to Kotlin. We also started using the Android Architectural Components and coroutines. Together we completed an extensive project to improve the app's user experience so that first-time customers can learn about and buy crypto for the very first time with confidence.
