Nikola Andreev — VP of Engineering
Engineering Leader & Mobile Architect | 5+ Years Scaling Fintech/Crypto at Nexo I specialize in building high-performance mobile infrastructures where technical excellence meets strategic leadership. Most recently, I’ve been leading the Mobile Squad at Nexo, managing a team of 8 engineers while driving the architectural roadmap for a product used by millions of users worldwide. Core Impact: Engineering Leadership: Owning the full lifecycle of the mobile squad – from hiring and high-level roadmap planning to 1-on-1s and performance growth. Technical Excellence: Successfully drove the React Native New Architecture + Fabric migration in production. Advanced Engineering: Architected and shipped bridgeless TurboModules for secure signing, WalletConnect, and biometric-gated storage with < 8 ms sync latency. AI-Driven Development: Pioneered a workflow where 90% of new native modules are AI-generated (Gemini/Claude), allowing me to focus on high-level architecture and critical security audits. I bridge the gap between business goals and deep technical implementation. Whether it's leading a department through a major migration or mentoring engineers to their next level, I focus on scalability, security, and the "60 FPS" user experience.
