A news reading application that provides minimal but quality content. The application automatically loads three articles every day based on the user's preferences and works offline. This is one of the best user interfaces that I have built.

A framework for implementing MVVM on Android using RxJava and data binding that focuses on minimizing the boilerplate for view setup and enables reuse of presentation logic through view composition.

It is important to write reusable code to increase development speed and for easier maintenance. Although it is quite easy to share model logic across various components of the app, sharing presentation logic isn’t trivial. In this talk, I demonstrate how MVVM architecture allows you to tackle this issue using composition.

Cleaning up RxJava's subscriptions is critical in order to prevent memory leaks. However, it is often dependent on the Android lifecycle and results in boilerplate code. In this article, I present how data binding can be used to clean up subscriptions without any boilerplate code.

As part of my master's thesis, I developed a new technique for determining energy optimal trajectories based on Dubins curves, achieving linear time complexity and 14.8% more average energy savings than existing methods. I also Improved waypoint selection by enhancing A* and Theta* techniques for finding optimum solutions with turn-based cost functions.

Technologies used involved C++, Robot Operating System (ROS), and Gazebo.
