About

I've been working as an Android Engineer since 2016, and in 2022 I became Android Google Developer Expert. For most of my career, I have been working with large products with millions of active users. I got into software development thanks to people who are actively sharing knowledge through blog posts and free courses. This is why I spend a lot of my spare time sharing content with the community, and I sincerely enjoy it. Over these years, I have given dozens of talks and written over 20 articles about Android; my content has been viewed by more than 400,000 people.
