Experience
eCommerce Mobile Application
I worked on a Kotlin-based app for food purchases, which was a long-term, around three-year project.
I was an Android developer who participated in rewriting the old app from Java to Kotlin. Businesses are located in four countries, so the app's architecture supported both different business logic and UI for each country.
The mobile team had 30 developers, 15 Android and iOS per platform, ten quality assurance engineers, two product owners, and two scrum masters. Scrum methodology was used with some elements from the SAFE framework (PI planning) since the entire project team had 150 people.

Crypto Wallet App
A Kotlin-based app for cryptocurrencies trading.
I was an Android developer that added trade features and updated exchange features. Also, I migrated part of the REST API endpoints to the WebSockets to support smooth app interaction.
The team has five people, one developer per mobile platform, two back-end developers, and one QA.
