Android app development services built on 8+ years of Jetpack Compose and production releases.

Every Android build starts with the same question: what does this app need to be true a year from now, not just at launch? That shapes the architecture decisions — module boundaries, how state flows through the UI, what gets tested, what gets cached, and how releases roll out. The UI layer is Jetpack Compose; the data layer is typically Room or SQLDelight with a clean repository boundary; the app is wired for analytics and crash reporting from day one, not bolted on after the first bad release.

For products that also need iOS, the same Android-first architecture becomes the foundation for a Kotlin Multiplatform build later — the Kotlin Multiplatform development page linked below covers that path. But plenty of Android engagements stay Android-only, and that's a fine scope on its own.

Compose is the default UI toolkit for every Android build I take on now. Done well, it means state that is easy to reason about, previews that actually match the running app, and UI code that stays maintainable as screens multiply. Done poorly — which is common on apps migrated in a hurry — it means recomposition storms, state that lives in the wrong place, and a UI layer that is slower than the View system it replaced. Part of the value of hiring a senior Android developer is avoiding that second outcome.

Android work here splits roughly three ways, and the right one depends on where the product already is.

Shipping an Android app is more than writing the code. Every build I release goes out with Play Console configured correctly, crash reporting and analytics wired in before launch (not added reactively after the first 1-star review), a release process that supports staged rollouts, and attention to Play Store policy so the app does not get rejected or suspended over something avoidable. This is the part of the process that separates "the app works on my device" from "the app is live and stable for real users."

Koru and Drinkist are both live Android apps I designed, built, and released end to end — real production apps with real users, not demos. The client work behind the testimonials below is largely Android: feature builds, integrations like AppsFlyer and deep linking, and Kotlin codebases handed to me mid-project.
