I write Kotlin code for a living, I travel to fully live, and I read & listen to music as an escape sometimes
Six years of Android (anything before that was probably not solid solid.. if you get it).
I've worked across several industries, my favourite being fintech, mostly because I got to work on products that were really cool and that I had initially thought were hard. I'm talking PoS systems, NFC payments, Bluetooth integrations, encryption, compliance... the list goes on.
More than 150,000+ users across East & West Africa and 80,000+ South African merchants if anyone asks.
I care deeply about Clean Architecture, good UX, and writing code that my future self won't cringe at. Currently venturing into everything, really. I think with AI there is a need to figure out the next move.
Found myself asking what makes me an engineer with everything AI can do..Does it still count as problem-solving if I didn't solve it? What's the difference between engineering and prompt engineering, really? If the AI writes it and I review it, am I an engineer or a QA?
Lot's of such questions..
So I'd say I'm trying everything, like the one before wasn't already stressful enough.. hoping something sticks 🫠
On the side, I write on Substack, nothing about tech. More about life, quantum immortality. book reviews, and my fictional stories. I'm currently reading The Metamorphosis by Kafka. Hey, I also take really nice pictures that I occasionally post on Twitter.
Oh, and if you're wondering, I'm currently open to Android opportunities. If you're building something interesting, let's talk.
