01 / Selected experience
Recognisable products. Specific contributions.
A career built inside real consumer products, where architecture, delivery and operational constraints all matter.
Live product
End-to-end product
Vajeh
KMP Product Engineer
Designed, built and operate a Persian word puzzle with shared Kotlin product logic, now published for Android, iPhone and iPad.
2023–2025
bet365
bet365 & FollowScores
Lead Android Developer
Delivered regulated Android platform work and co-created FollowScores from inception with Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, Material 3, modular boundaries and release readiness built in.
2021–2023
Candyspace / ITVX
ITVX
Lead Android Developer
Modernised the mobile and tablet codebase, moved key flows to Coroutines and Hilt, delivered Compose modules and contributed to a 30% startup-time improvement.
02 / Practice
Mobile engineering from product intent to production.
Android at scale
Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, modular architecture, performance work and release-ready engineering for established consumer products.
KMP & native UX
Shared product logic where it earns its place, with native Compose and SwiftUI experiences that respect each platform.
Engineering leadership
Technical direction, mentoring and pragmatic decisions that connect product intent to reliable execution.
03 / End-to-end KMP product
Vajeh keeps product truth shared and the experience focused.
I designed, built, published and continue to operate this Persian word puzzle. Kotlin Multiplatform carries the reusable product and game logic, while the live app covers the complete loop from interaction design and Persian-language detail to release and iteration.
04 / Notes & reading
Useful ideas, kept deliberately small.
Original writing sits beside a short, stable reading list for Android, Kotlin Multiplatform and iOS. No release ticker or automated news feed.
Will AI put you out of a job? A staff mobile engineer’s view
AI will remove tasks, compress teams and change the engineering ladder. The durable advantage is not typing code faster; it is owning outcomes.
A staff engineer’s framework for evaluating AI features in mobile products
Before shipping model-assisted behaviour, pressure-test user value, failure modes, privacy, observability, human control, cost and long-term ownership.
Android
Guide to app architecture (opens in a new tab)
A practical baseline for layered Android systems, unidirectional data flow, state holders and clear module boundaries.
Why it matters
Use it to align a team on responsibilities and dependency direction before debating frameworks.
Kotlin Multiplatform
Share code on platforms (opens in a new tab)
Shows how common source sets, hierarchical sharing and expect/actual declarations create deliberate cross-platform boundaries.
Why it matters
Read this before deciding what should be shared and what should remain native.
iOS & SwiftUI
Managing model data in your app (opens in a new tab)
Connects SwiftUI views to observable model data while preserving a clear separation between presentation and application state.
Why it matters
A concise reference for keeping state ownership legible as SwiftUI screens grow.
