2021 - 2022

As an Android Developer Tech Lead, my responsibilities included implementing new functionalities and enhancements to the search screens within the application, resulting in a substantial revenue increase of 1.5 million dollars per month. I spearheaded the implementation of a modular architecture for the search engine, fostering greater scalability and maintainability. Collaboration with the development team and area manager was integral to ensure project synergy, and I also led screen redesign efforts. Throughout this role, I harnessed tools and technologies such as Kotlin, MVVM, and Rx Kotlin to achieve these objectives.

Personal website

Creating carlosgub.dev was a journey of blending creativity with technical precision, entirely powered by Kotlin. The frontend was built using Kobweb and Kotlin Multiplatform, a powerful framework that integrates Kotlin into the web development process, enabling the creation of dynamic and interactive user interfaces. This combination allowed for a unified development experience, with all components written in Kotlin.
