About

Hello👋. My name is Neil Mathew. I’m an Engineering Manager focusing on Mobile App Development. I have over 8 years of experience building mobile apps and over 3 years of experience as a people manager. I have led teams with up to 12 Mobile engineers focusing on their morale, individual development plans, performance ratings, promotions and personal improvement plans (PIP). I have worked in companies like Dunzo, Gojek, Shuttl and Kayako (with internships at Google, IBM and Monster Jobs). I believe in taking ownership of my projects and have single-handedly launched and maintained multiple apps and SDKs. I am also a strong advocate of documentation. I’ve worked on over 20+ projects for private companies and the government (of India). My personal projects have been featured in about 8 newspapers and magazines, won awards in two national-level competitions and amassed over 3 million views every month. I’ve spoken at international conferences including DroidKaigi (an Android Development conference in Tokyo, Japan) and co-published papers in international journals like IJSLE (International Journal of Service Learning in Engineering). My specialities include android app development, UX design of mobile applications, requirements gathering, research, planning, documentation, analytics and spreadsheets.
