Brain in Hand
2023 ⇢ 2026 • Contractor
I helped modernise and strengthen a mission-driven product, leading the migration from legacy Views to Jetpack Compose UI, built and shipped new features, and focused heavily on improving quality through increased unit test coverage and proactive technical debt reduction. I helped drive the app to 100% crash-free stability, reinforced its offline-first behaviour, and worked as part of an agile team to deliver a reliable, accessible, and high-quality Android app.
