A design-sensitive Android engineer who can move from pixels to pipelines, from mobile clients to frontend and backend systems, from architecture decisions to team alignment, and still care about the tiny interaction that makes an app feel finished.

    Architecture should make change safer, not meetings longer.

    Strong teams ship better software than heroic individuals.
