Software Engineer  (Malware Analyst(Binary Reverse Engineering)  | JAVA | React | Javascript | AWS | Python | SQL | CI/CD | Android | IOS)

In my role as a technology architect and lead developer, I steered the inception, design, and successful launch of sophisticated software products. My comprehensive expertise in Android Studio/SDK and a robust command over Java and Kotlin were instrumental in orchestrating the development lifecycle of mobile native apps, IoT solutions, and backend systems. Employing the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architecture, I ensured that our applications were not only maintainable and testable but also aligned with the highest standards of software quality and user satisfaction.

Collaboration was at the heart of my approach. Working closely with cross-functional teams, I championed the integration of RESTful and GraphQL APIs, facilitating seamless interactions between diverse software components. My proficiency in Java and Python played a pivotal role in architecting resilient backend systems, further complemented by my hands-on experience with UI design, particularly for Android TV and Amazon Fire TV.

Innovation was a constant in our development process. From prototyping embedded hardware using NFC for advanced access control and security to enhancing streaming performance via UDP and refining motor control over socket connections, every initiative aimed at pushing the boundaries of technology. My commitment to best practices in version control and continuous integration, coupled with rigorous software testing and automation, ensured that our codebase was not only high-quality but also adaptable to the evolving demands of the tech landscape.

Software Engineer

-	Contributed to the development and maintenance of Android applications, focusing on user-centric designs.
-	Worked on a range of projects, honing expertise in Android development, and effectively managing source code with version control systems.
-	Collaborated with team members to review and address code quality and performance issues.
-	Actively participated in Agile software development processes to ensure efficient project delivery.
-	Wrote libraries to interact with hardware devices and common components for other engineers to use when delivering business requirements.  Conversion of the iOS store application to Android platform was done and resulted better performance and longer battery-life. Interacted with hardware devices such as Epson and Zebra barcode scanners as well as Epson and Zebra Printers using networking protocols TCP and UDP over WIFI to deliver a great UX on Store floors. Used multiple design patterns to solve issues which came up during design, and avoid complexities in the future. Asset Tracking using NFC. Used the MVVM architecture and Jetpack components
-	Integrated new features into the Android app using Kotlin in modules built on MVVM architecture with Data Binding using Jetpack.
-	Used Databinding and Rx Java to enable a reactive MVVM architecture that provides a better user experience.
-	Resolved complex UI bugs which resulted in better user experience, add new features to existing screens, and create new screens for app features.
-	Used tools such as Epson and zebra barcode scanner, Epson and zebra printers, Firebase, Crash Analytics, Java, Kotlin, Gradle, Jenkins, Junit, Splunk, Sonar cube and other in-house tools.
