Building apps that
feel native.

I'm Ema, Senior Developer with over 12 years of experience architecting production applications from scratch and modernizing high-traffic legacy platforms.

Proven expertise leading native Java-to-Kotlin migrations, building modern UIs with Jetpack Compose, and integrating AI directly into development workflows and product features to accelerate delivery and enhance user experience.

Currently building full-stack, AI-powered platforms end-to-end (Next.js, PostgreSQL/Supabase) alongside continued Android engineering. Equally effective driving technical excellence as an independent contributor or collaborating within agile engineering teams.
