I developed a weather app in Kotlin using the MVVM pattern, clean architecture, ViewModel, Dagger-Hilt, Jetpack Compose, and navigation using Retrofit to fetch API calls.

The app is developed for native Android, and it fetches and displays weather details of any city.

• Implemented multi-threaded programming to handle long-running operations in the form of suspendable tasks using Coroutines building block launch and async.
• Supervised the creation of the testing (unit testing and integration testing) suites with Espresso and Mockito.
• Created utility functions using Kotlin capabilities with Extension functions and high-order functions.
• Wrote the offshore team's unit testing template while instilling the new shift into TDD by working with Kohl's library of base Android components to prioritize unit testing with MVVM.
• Refactored old Dagger 2 implementation Hilt DI, injected WorkManager with Dagger-Hilt, removed ViewModel factory implementation to replace with HILT ViewModel Inject.
• Refactored a lot of legacy codebase written in Java MVC to Kotlin MVVM architecture, Work Manager API for background tasks, and material design for UI.

WORK DONE
• Provided design support for over 20 API calls from varying servers while working with server-side engineers to adapt them to new features using Kotlin Coroutine scopes with Android KTX.
• Mentored new developers about the new app structure and coding standards. 
• Implemented multi-threaded programming to handle long-running operations in the form of suspendable tasks using Coroutines building block launch and async.
• Created utility functions using Kotlin capabilities with extension and high-order functions.  
• Wrote the offshore team's unit testing template while instilling the new shift into TDD by working with Kohl's library of base Android components to push unit testing as a priority with MVVM.
• Refactored old Dagger 2 implementation Hilt DI, injected WorkManager with Dagger-Hilt, and removed ViewModel factory implementation to replace with HILT View Model Inject 
• Leveraged foundational knowledge of Android development principles to collaborate effectively with the development team, contributing insights and support in the creation of cross-platform solutions.
