ABOUT ME

Forward thinker, problem solver and outgoing loner

Enthusiastic mobile developer, with 4+ years experience developing native android apps and REST api clients using languages like Node.js and Go. I am dedicated to continuous self improvement and learning new concepts to ease engineering and increase productivity. I love to solve challenges and provide value to people around me, I love novels(sci-fi) my favourites authors are J.k Rowling, Lori M and Patrick Rothfuss, movies are welcome and play games(Fifa & Call of Duty). I think big and want to make a difference, it's not all about the code but the problem you can solve.

Extensive experience in Kotlin language, which includes Adroid development , Server side development using Ktor as well as Kotlin Native for Multiplatform library development. I currently see myself as a Kotlin advocate and try to write about kotlin and my experiences as much as I can and as well create project templates for beginners to get started. Also have good an understanding of Kotlin Co-routines.

Ketro is a Retrofit response wrapper written in Kotlin that can be used to easily wrap REST API response to LiveData and exception/error handling both from the retrofit calls all the way to displaying an error in the view. Ketro allows and encourages the addition of custom exceptions so errors can easily be grouped and managed with adequate actions and feedback to your app users.
