Social Trading Platform
NAGA
High-traffic social trading platform for Android. Drove the crash-free rate to 99.9% via active Firebase Crashlytics monitoring, reduced memory leaks by 50% using LeakCanary, and delivered features within a complex MVI architecture backed by RxJava reactive streams.
B2B · White-Label Suite
White-Label App Suite
Architected a highly scalable white-label codebase using advanced Gradle build variants and product flavors to generate multiple branded applications from a single source. A modular configuration system abstracted UI themes, feature toggles, and localized assets.
Kiosk · Hardware
Custom Kiosk Launcher
Proprietary Android launcher for dedicated kiosk booths, establishing a secure locked-down environment without official MDM APIs. Implemented custom workarounds for device restrictions: application persistence, auto-launch, and full system bar blocking.
Productivity App
Pomodoro Timer
Distraction-free focus timer featuring a custom Screen Wake Lock lifecycle implementation to maintain display state during active sessions — ensuring the screen stays on without relying on system defaults.
