I'm Reza, a Software Engineer with 20 years of experience, specialized in Android development. My journey started in the early 2000s building desktop tools in Visual Basic 6, including utility apps for Yahoo Messenger. Since then, I've worked on 30+ Android projects for organizations ranging from small startups to large-scale enterprises like Spotify, SBAB, Viaplay, and other international companies.

Beyond coding, I bring experience in mentoring developers of all levels, leading teams, and managing projects to success.

I specialize in Android Mobile and Wear apps, Android TV applications, and performance-optimized large database management apps. I also work with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) for shared logic across Android and iOS.

🔍 Key Skills: Kotlin, Android, Jetpack Compose, MVVM, UDF Architecture, Retrofit, Coil, Coroutines, Dagger Hilt, Flows, KMP, and more.
