ABOUT ME

Professional Android Engineer and Experienced Instructor

Seven years ago, I began my career change into Android development with the aid of a Codementor. Since then, I have worked with top companies such as Disney, Sony, and AT&T, refining my skills by navigating intricate legacy codebases and developing modern applications using cutting-edge tools.

Additionally, I'm passionate about imparting knowledge and have conducted classes on Android and Kotlin. I can also empathize with the distinctive challenges associated with transitioning careers to become a proficient developer.

Whether you aspire to become a professional Android developer, enhance your existing skill set, or need a hand in building your app, I am here to help. Feel free to reach out, and let's discuss your goals!
