I am a Software Engineer with a strong focus on Android development. I specialize in building efficient, scalable mobile applications using Kotlin, Java, Jetpack Compose, Ktor, and MongoDB. I am committed to continuous personal and professional growth and actively seek opportunities to learn and improve. I enjoy collaborating with others and bring a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to problem-solving, shaped by my love for puzzles and my tendency to think things through thoroughly. I hold a degree in Computer Science and Information Technology from the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
Tech Stack
This is the tech stack I use on a day-to-day basis — the tools and technologies I rely on to design, build, and maintain high-quality software solutions.
Java
I began my Android development journey using Java, building foundational applications focused on user authentication, CRUD operations, and network communication. Java helped me develop a strong understanding of object-oriented programming, design patterns, and the Android SDK before transitioning to more modern tools.
Kotlin
Kotlin became my primary language for modern Android development, enabling me to build scalable and maintainable applications using Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, and Clean Architecture. I’ve applied it across multi-module projects, integrated Hilt for dependency injection, and developed backend services using Ktor.
Jetpack Compose
Jetpack Compose is my preferred framework for declarative UI development. It allows me to build clean, user-friendly, and maintainable interfaces while working seamlessly with Coroutines and Clean Architecture across multi-module projects.
Ktor
Ktor is my backend framework of choice for building lightweight, scalable services using Kotlin and coroutines. I’ve used it to design APIs that integrate cleanly with mobile applications.
Swift
Swift is the newest addition to my skill set. I’ve been building native iOS applications using SwiftUI and MVVM architecture, focusing on clean view composition, data flow with Combine, and reusable components.
SwiftUI
SwiftUI allows me to build modern, declarative user interfaces for iOS applications. My focus has been on mastering layout composition, state management, and creating maintainable UI components that scale well.
Experience
I have 5 years of professional experience. I began my career in the e-commerce sector and later transitioned into the logistics and courier industry, working on scalable, production-grade mobile applications.
