Full Stack Engineer | 6 Years of Experience | Android, React

I'm a Full-Stack developer with 6 years of experience, particularly in native Android applications. I've developed solutions for rich, offline-capable entity reconciliation, client-side credit card processing, hardware interfacing (printers, bluetooth credit card readers), layered data model architectures, and complex, performance sensitive multi-threaded applications.

Skills

Front-end: Android, xplat C/C++, React{-Native}

Back-end: Hack, Go/GRPC, Dropwizard, Hibernate, JDBI, sqlc

Other: Guix/Linux, Protobuf, Gradle, Bazel, Buck2, S3/Backblaze, Sentry

Career highlights

• Designed, developed, production tested an API used in very popular multiple-user-session applications that simultaneously:
  • eliminated an entire category of memory leaks (database observer teardown)
  • decreased privacy issues (observers active and emitting results in a different user session)
  • decreased application complexity
  • increased kotlin coroutine adoption, particularly in sensitive-to-latency application entry points
  • increased developer efficiency + happiness
• Cut down application time-to-deploy by 60% through scoping and leading the implementation of CI mobile production builds and through building in-house tooling to generate user journeys instantly instead of spending hours of team time each week.
• Cut down time to write and run e2e tests by provisioning fixture data ahead of time: tests started near instantly instead of a 2 or 3 minute wait each run. The work was also integrated into CI, reducing feedback times across all development stages.

I proactively identify and drive improvements that benefit the entire development cycle, from modularizing large codebases to building internal tools that dramatically boost team productivity. While I excel at direct client feature development, my passion is for creating leverage -- solving the underlying problems that make feature development faster, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone. I'm a quick learner and eager to dive into complex domains by collaborating with subject matter experts.

I am open to remote or 3-day hybrid positions. I'm fluent in English, some familiarity with Arabic. I prefer roles where the primary method of communication is written.
