Who I Am

About Me

I'm a passionate software engineer with expertise in both mobile and web development. My journey in tech has led me to specialize in creating seamless user experiences across platforms using modern technologies.

I specialize in Flutter and Kotlin for mobile, and React / Next.js for web — bringing a comprehensive approach to every product I build.

Deeply interested in Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) — enabling shared logic between Android and iOS for cleaner, more maintainable codebases.

Also experienced building miniapps for Alipay and Safaricom — lightweight, embedded experiences inside super-apps.

Logging and Beyond: A Practical Approach to Firebase Crashlytics and Timber in Android App Development

Firebase Crashlytics is a real-time crash reporting tool by Google that is also integrated with Google Analytics. This tool helps you track and fix stability issues. When added to your Android project, it maps information for the app’s build by default. Developers can also log custom events and keys, providing additional context about the crash. To complement this additional context we introduce a logging library called Timber.

Want to add google-services.json into your GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline?

Are you building a project that uses Firebase or any other google services ? Using Firebase, one is required to add google-services.json when creating a project. This file contains configuration information that is specific to your app. Has a unique identifier required for communication with Google services. It allows your app to authenticate itself with google services. This means that the file should not be added in commits to the public.
