About me
Android Engineer with 5.4+ years of experience building scalable mobile applications and modular SDKs across IoT, fintech, media streaming, and health-tech domains. At NeoSoft, I work across multiple product-driven clients, developing real-time Android solutions and device-integrated applications.
For a Smart Glasses platform (Jio Tesseract), I led development of the Android companion application and contributed to a modular Android SDK powering device communication and media workflows. My work involved Bluetooth (Classic & BLE) connectivity, RFCOMM-based audio streaming, real-time voice interaction pipelines using Silero VAD, wake-word detection with Picovoice and Sensory SDK, and WebRTC-based data transfer with NACK handling. I also integrated LiveKit for low-latency video streaming and enabled seamless React Native integration through TurboModules.
For a fintech client (BHIM UPI Plugin), I contributed to the development of a modular Android payment SDK enabling direct UPI transactions. I built Jetpack Compose-based payment flows, implemented API and data layers using Ktor, integrated dependency injection with Koin, and enhanced transaction security through SSL pinning and code obfuscation.
For a media streaming client (Audiaa), I optimized live FM playback using ExoPlayer, improved Room database performance, resolved memory leaks and lifecycle-related issues, and improved analytics reliability.
Previously at SuperUs Systems, I developed Android applications using BLE for ESL tag management and built digital signage solutions. I also engineered real-time QR communication systems using WebSockets and contributed to a ReactJS-based template editor for device content design.
My core expertise includes Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, MVVM, Clean Architecture, Coroutines, Flow, Bluetooth (BLE & Classic), WebRTC, and SDK development. I work comfortably in Agile environments using Git, JIRA, and Confluence.
