Software Engineer with 3+ years of end-to-end Android expertise,
from Board Support Package (BSP) and hardware bringup at
the silicon layer all the way up to polished Jetpack Compose UIs
shipping on the Google Play Store. Paired with deep C++ systems
engineering, I operate across the full Android software stack in ways
very few engineers can.At the hardware layer, I port and customize
Android for custom hardware targets, write HAL modules, tune Linux
kernel drivers for peripherals like camera, audio, and sensors, and
work with bootloaders and device trees to bring new boards to life.
I have collaborated directly with Qualcomm Snapdragon teams to
validate bringup and harden platform builds for production.In C++,
I design and implement the critical algorithm logic that powers real-
time systems: lock-free data structures, custom memory allocators,
ring-buffer pipelines, and signal processing engines on embedded
SoCs. This work has boosted H.265 encoder throughput by 20%,
reduced drone radio setup errors by 15%, and cut end-to-end video
latency by 25% on live 1080p feeds.On the application layer, I
build production Android apps using Jetpack Compose, Material 3,
Kotlin Coroutines, Flow, Hilt, Room, and WorkManager, architected
with MVVM/MVI and shipped via CI/CD with Firebase and Play
Store automation.Currently at Jabra, I own both the BSP platform
integration and the Compose-driven application experience for
PanaCast intelligent video conferencing systems.I don't just write
Android apps. I understand the hardware they run on, the kernel that
schedules them, and the C++ algorithms that make them fast.

Dragos Petcu is a Principal Tech Lead at Sixense, where he builds Beyond Monitoring, a structural-health monitoring platform used on major infrastructure projects.

Over the last two years, he went from ordinary developer to ~5x output through hands-on agentic engineering with Claude Code, custom subagents, and MCP integrations.

He then spent the harder half of the journey making that transfer to his team: an internal plugin ecosystem of 78 commands, skills, and agents across 6 plugins, domain-scoped agents, and cross-model review pipelines running on a production enterprise codebase.

He writes about AI-assisted development and AI adoption for tech leads and CTOs on LinkedIn

I am an Android Software Engineer at iFood, one of the largest food delivery platforms in the world, processing over 120 million orders per month. As part of the Order Delivery team, I work on critical flows that every order passes through, directly impacting the experience of millions of users. My expertise spans app performance, scalability, monitoring, and the delivery of robust solutions for complex distributed systems.

In recent years, I have expanded my focus into Edge AI and on-device machine learning. I’ve been actively researching and building proof of concepts using Android’s ML Kit Prompt APIs and on-device generative models, exploring how Edge AI can move from experimentation to real product features. My work investigates practical trade-offs between cloud and on-device AI, including latency, privacy, cost, and scalability, always with a production-first mindset. I am particularly interested in transforming AI capabilities into tangible user value within large-scale mobile applications.

My journey in monitoring began during an internship, where I gained hands-on experience working on large-scale systems. Over time, I developed a deep understanding of designing effective observability strategies, integrating tools such as Analytics, Crashlytics, and health monitoring into development lifecycles. At iFood, I have been responsible for implementing scalable monitoring solutions to ensure operational reliability and an exceptional user experience.

Academically, I hold a degree in Control and Automation Engineering from UNICAMP and I am currently pursuing a postgraduate degree in Software Engineering, also at UNICAMP. My research paper, "Effective Monitoring of Mobile Applications in Production," received top marks and strengthened my ability to bridge theory and real-world engineering challenges. More recently, my academic and professional interests have converged around applied AI in mobile environments, especially the evolution of Edge AI in Android ecosystems.

Beyond work, I am deeply involved in the Android community. I have attended and spoken at international conferences, including Droidcon Berlin 2024 and AndroidMakers by Droidcon Paris, where I share insights on practical on-device AI and scalable mobile architectures. My talks focus on actionable strategies, real-world experimentation, and how to responsibly bring emerging AI technologies into production-grade apps.
