VISHAN SERU
Hello there, I am Vishan a software developer currently based out of India.
I have been building software professionally since 2015. While my core competency lies in building native Android apps, in my previous full time role I had the opportunity to work on a large scale native to React-Native migration while focusing on the video experience on the app. As a result, I am now also comfortable working on React-Native projects as well as TypeScript projects in general.
In the Android development space, I am proficient in using a variety of tools like Dagger, RxJava2, Kotlin Coroutines, SQLite, Firebase, Android architecture components, Jetpack Compose, ExoPlayer as well as much more.
If you are looking for someone who can onboard quickly and dive deep into projects while also delivering solid outcomes at a reasonable pace, then do reach out to me!
