I build production mobile apps and the reusable systems behind them: shared Android platform code, API caching, image loading, networking/auth, screen state, UI DSLs, release automation, and practical agentic developer tooling.
Short version: mobile product engineering, shared Android platform systems, release automation, code-review tooling, and public technical projects.
Shared Android platform
Most of the strongest work is not a single screen. It is the Android infrastructure that made many product lines easier to build, ship and maintain: shared APIs, cache layers, image loading, screen state, UI composition, and release tooling.
Designed and maintained a shared Android platform used by multiple production loyalty apps, rather than rebuilding the same infrastructure per app.
Built smart request/cache infrastructure that can return fast cached data, avoid duplicate calls, refresh when needed, and persist useful API responses.
Built custom image/photo loading infrastructure instead of just wiring a ready-made image feature into screens.
Built shared Retrofit-based networking behavior around login/session state, diagnostics, auth refresh, headers, ETag reuse and normalized failures.
Built a Kotlin layout DSL and reusable screen foundations for loading, navigation, lifecycle behavior, overlays, sheets and state restoration.
Built code-first Android UI helpers and reusable components for repeated production surfaces.
Built and maintained repeated Android motion patterns across core components and app flows, from loading buttons to spin/reward and payment interactions.
Maintained multi-brand theme/palette foundations and treated Android behavior as part of a larger backend/API system.
Worked across payment-adjacent and card/pass flows where Android UI, backend calls and external payment/pass providers had to line up correctly.
Production Android delivery
Selected app lines where platform work, feature delivery, and reusable Android systems show up in real products.
Embedded loyalty app/library surface running inside Viseca's One app: reward-shop style flows, rewards, campaigns, vouchers, terms, points/account screens, card selection, login/session bridging, demo launcher/server/theme persistence and spin/chance experiences.
AMLarge Cyprus supermarket loyalty app work: rewards UI, gift cards, campaign/reward lists, QR and Google Wallet pass flow, Firebase analytics/events, consent/CMP, login/session fixes, environment switching and redesign/theme support.
ATBank of Cyprus reward-scheme app work: Near Me map/list behavior, filters, search/focus, partner/location presentation, bottom-sheet state restoration, campaign links, vouchers, terms, login and account/session flows.
OMCyprus football-club loyalty/privilege app work: account/card/service flows, service-to-card refactor, transfers, profile image fixes, card registration/conversion, widgets, registration UX and modernization.
CBRewards app built for Cablenet: voucher/redemption details, live refresh, spin/popup/voucher timing, profile/media/circle/community features, guide animations, media-store migration and security/build hardening.
FBIn-house Axiom Consulting app build: team/praise and praise-points screens, partner/category/search/filter behavior, QR/code sheet, voucher public codes, HTML notifications, OTP/auth/session and build hardening.
BBCyprus coffee-chain commerce app work: basket, checkout, orders, addresses, JCC/Google Pay, payment method persistence, payment redirection, order-type switching, transaction details, animations and terms/component alignment.
SWCampaign/reward mechanics across a long-running loyalty app: spin, scratch, voucher, stamp, QR, widgets, media transfer, notifications, cache refreshes, auth expiration and app deprecation/update behavior.
Up Benefia, OnePOS, FEBE Portal, Elections and older products: Slovak-language benefit/voucher redemption, POS flows, QR/barcode, merchant/location, reset-password/OTP, transaction/date, theming and CI/pipeline fixes.
Tooling and automation
The portfolio is mobile-heavy, but a large part of the work is making delivery repeatable: pipelines, Gradle tooling, PR review automation, agent infrastructure, and private workflows that make AI assistance operational instead of one-off prompting.
Reusable Azure pipeline templates and mobile release automation.
Gradle tooling for Android repo setup, shared platform resolution and publication policy.
AI-assisted Azure DevOps PR review automation.
Agent infrastructure and pipeline support around the mobile workflow.
Encoding, endpoint-routing, pinning and hash/cache support libraries.
Scoped CI/CD and release automation around API and shared-library repositories used by the wider mobile ecosystem.
Private skill-based workflow system for repeatable agent tasks.
Recent Android SSH/terminal utility for managing remote coding sessions and background tasks from mobile.

Working style
The through-line is practical ownership: reduce repeated work, make production behavior easier to reason about, and keep the team moving without lowering technical standards.
I look for the reusable layer behind repeated product work: APIs, caches, UI helpers, adapters, release scripts and shared behavior.
I prefer checking the live source of truth, reading the code path, and separating product intent from implementation details before drawing conclusions.
I care about repeatable releases, CI/CD, dependency alignment, migration paths, review automation and reducing manual steps that become future bugs.
I explain tradeoffs directly, keep scope visible, and try to make technical decisions understandable to both product and engineering stakeholders.
