About Me

Thinking

I'm a Solutions Architect with 8+ years of experience in mobile development, specializing in Android engineering and enterprise SDK development and integrations.

Currently at Branch Metrics, I lead onboarding new clients to Branch platform, lead Firebase-to-Branch migrations for enterprise customers across APAC and build developer tools to improve SDK integration efficiency.

My career began with GSoC and evolved into scaling app for Tottus during a 500% growth surge. Along the way, I’ve delved into the Framework apps at Essential, mastered real-time communication via Stream SDK, and delivered specialized POS hardware applications for the F&B sector.
