About
Android experience across mobile, mobility and automotive.
I've been building Android products since the early days of the platform. Over the years, I've worked across consumer apps, payments, mobility products and automotive software, helping teams design and deliver reliable products at scale.
My work sits at the intersection of hands-on engineering, architecture and product thinking — from polished mobile applications to OEM-grade infotainment and digital cockpit platforms.
