Java
I began my journey in Android development using Java, building foundational apps that focused on user authentication, CRUD operations, and networking. Java helped me grasp object-oriented programming, design patterns, and the Android SDK before transitioning to more modern tools.
Kotlin
Kotlin became my go-to for modern Android development, enabling me to build scalable, maintainable apps with Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, and Clean Architecture. I've used it across multi-module projects, integrated Hilt for dependency injection, and built backend services using Ktor.
Jetpack Compose
Jetpack Compose became my go-to for Declarative UI development, enabling me to build beautiful, user friendly, maintainable apps with Jetpack Compose, Coroutines, and Clean Architecture. I've used it across multi-module projects, integrated Hilt for dependency injection, and built backend services using Ktor.
Ktor
Ktor became my go-to for Back-end development, enabling me to build scalable, maintainable apps with Coroutine. I've used it across multi-module projects.
Swift
Swift is the newest tool in my stack. I’ve started building native iOS apps using SwiftUI with MVVM architecture. My focus has been on mastering view composition, data flow with Combine, and implementing reusable components that match the clean, declarative nature of SwiftUI.
