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.
