Observation: I'm finding the quality and polish of Android apps to generally be on the up these days. Lots of delightful moments ✨.

(As for the startup idea. It may not be what you'd expect, but I'm very excited about it and will share more when I can!).

I've updated my personal website to reflect this: #opentowork #android #jetpackcompose #designsystems #kotlinmultiplatform #figma #uxui.

If you or your company have a freelance/contract opportunity that might be a good fit, please get in touch! Reposts are also appreciated 😸.

In general, I'd prefer to work on projects that fall within these areas but I'm open to anything interesting.

I'm open to work as an experienced software engineer. My focus areas are Android, Jetpack Compose, Design Systems and Kotlin Multiplatform. I'm also fully proficient in Figma and other UX/UI design tools.

Howzit (again) 👋. I'm back from a small break and am excited to share that I'm splitting my time between freelance/contract work and a startup idea.

I'm excited about what's next and will share more on that soon. I'm not quite open to work (yet), but always open to conversations 😼.

For now "going solo" starts with taking a small break. It's been a wild ride in tech / personally / the world over the last ~5 years. I'm privileged to have kept a job throughout but, I must admit, I'm burnt out and need to regain focus and energy.

I'm grateful for the invaluable experience gained at 5 awesome companies — most recently GoDaddy. However, I feel that I'll achieve true long-term flexibility, earning potential, and fulfilment in this way.

Howzit 👋. 2024 is my 10th year of working-professionally-for-other-people. After careful consideration (i.e. lots of overthinking) I've decided it's time to take the somewhat scary next step of going solo.

Finally received my @figma x @work_louder Creator Micro! More design, less keyboard shortcuts 😮‍💨

Hello 🤖 It's been a hot minute since I've written a blog post. I've been sitting on some opinions/ideas about design systems in Jetpack Compose and I've finally got them all down. All feedback welcome!. #AndroidDev #JetpackCompose #DesignSystems #Figma.

Just received my certificate for Level Up with Figma 🙌. I've learnt so many new things about Figma and design systems that I'm excited to put into practice. @joeyabanks is an amazing teacher and I'd highly recommend signing up for the upcoming cohort.
