About

I’ve been building for Android since the days of version 2.2 back in 2012! What started as a bachelor's thesis has evolved into a decade-long journey of mastering mobile development. As both a Senior Engineer and a Startup Founder, I love taking full ownership of projects—from deep architecture and KMP to guiding products through deployment and scaling. 🏆 Founder & Creator of Cash Reader I built and founded Cash Reader, a globally impactful app (500k+ downloads) that helps visually impaired individuals recognize banknotes across 120+ currencies. It won Microsoft's AI for Accessibility Hackathon, the Vodafone Rafael prize, and the Zero Project Award. Because of this deeply personal journey, I bring profound expertise in mobile accessibility and a worldwide community of blind beta testers to any team I join. 🚀 Engineering at Massive Scale (JioCinema & JioHotstar) Over the last three years, I’ve built for an enterprise audience of 1.4 billion: - KMP SDK: Built an in-house Kotlin Multiplatform Advertising SDK from scratch, managing live in-stream ads for tens of millions of IPL viewers. - Core Architecture & Scale: Following the merger, I drove extreme load optimization, resolved complex ANRs, and built custom dev tools (Lint rules, GitHub workflows) to boost team efficiency. It was an incredible experience watching tens of millions of people join the app in a matter of seconds —and I am ready for the next big challenge. Feel free to send me a message!

Jiohotstar

Senior Android Engineer

Jan 2025Mar 2026 · 1 yr 2 mos · Remote

  • Brought on board to the Core Engineering team following the merger of JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar. In this role, I focused on high-level app architecture, stability, and extreme load optimization. I was responsible for diagnosing hard-to-reproduce crashes and ANRs and building remote-controlled features for real-time flexibility. I also maintained in-house libraries and created dev tools (custom Lint rules, config plugins, GitHub workflows) to simplify everyday tasks for the rest of the team.

  • JioCinema was a leading Indian OTT service that delivered content to an audience of 1.4 billion. Since 2023, JioCinema has held exclusive streaming rights to the Indian Premier League (IPL), the most popular cricket league. Initially, I was tasked with enhancing the stability of the Android TV application. Subsequently, I was responsible for developing an in-house Advertising SDK, replacing a third-party solution. We developed a cross-platform SDK (Kotlin Multiplatform), compatible with JavaScript, iOS, and Android. This SDK was fully implemented and efficiently managed display and live in-stream advertising, reaching tens of millions of viewers during each match and across various content offerings.

Cash reader

Author of Cash Reader for Android

Jan 2018Present · 8 yrs 3 mos · Brno

  • THE STORY BEHIND THE APP
  • It all started when a visually impaired friend asked if it was possible to build an app that could quickly recognize Czech Crown banknotes. My co-founder (who handles iOS) and I took on the challenge. After months of prototyping and development, Cash Reader was born.
  • THE APP & GLOBAL IMPACT
  • Today, Cash Reader is a globally recognized accessibility tool supporting 120+ currencies, 36+ languages and more than 500k downloads. Simply point a camera at the money in your hand, and the app will let you hear, see, or feel its value. What makes me the happiest is the worldwide community of amazing people we've met while testing and collecting banknotes from across the globe.
  • B2B & SDK INTEGRATIONS
  • Do you want your app or hardware to recognize money? We provide highly optimized, incredibly easy-to-integrate SDKs for both Android and iOS. Our technology is already powering specialized smart glasses and bespoke mobile devices for the visually impaired.
  • CORE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
  • AI & Machine Learning: TensorFlow Lite with custom, in-house developed models
  • Backend Infrastructure: AWS (EC2, S3)
  • UX/UI: Deep optimization for mobile accessibility
  • Monetization: Complex In-App Billing (subscriptions and one-time purchases)
  • App Security: Custom RASP (Runtime Application Self-Protection) and robust anti-tampering defenses
  • 🌍 Check our supported currencies: https://cashreader.app/en/currencies/
  • 🤝 Don't see your currency? If you are willing to help us collect valid banknotes, please send me a message!
