As a lead Android engineer my day-to-day responsibilities include taking active part in shaping transformation across various cross-functional teams, mentoring fellow developers, defining the code quality standards, keeping the code quality gate quite high by doing code reviews, being actively responsible for interviews and recruitment as the team grows, building platform strategy to be executed in the next few years, leading two teams, one of which is focused on UI/UX redesign of the existing applications for Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and Halifax, improving platform specific performance metrics by implementing Android-friendly components being aware of the most common pitfalls of the platform, defining the next generation architecture, working of proofs of concept and, of course, doing some coding in the meantime. I am, again, working closely with our UI/UX specialists to define and implement a platform specific experience for each and every user as this is the key to a successful highly-rated application.

As a lead Android developer at a start-up company I’ve been responsible for the development and maintenance of our products.

Apart from the development, I have been involved in developing company strategies, management and planning.

As a scrum master I got a better understanding of the main problems different teams were facing and I managed to help resolving them.

As a freelance developer I had the chance to challenge myself by working on various Android projects. Developing applications from scratch or xing/adding features to existing ones thought me to manage
