Hire Android Developer
Native Android | Kotlin, Java & Backend Integration
I build Android applications that are fast, stable, and maintainable — native UI, proper MVVM or Clean Architecture, and robust backend API integration. From initial build to Play Store deployment, I handle the full development cycle with clean, well-tested code.
Native Android development makes sense when you need the best possible performance on Android hardware, deep integration with device-specific APIs, or a codebase that Android engineers can maintain long-term. Projects I build: consumer apps with Jetpack Compose UIs following Material Design 3, B2B tools with complex offline-first data sync using Room and WorkManager, apps with hardware integrations (NFC, Bluetooth, camera), and Android TV or Wear OS applications. Every app is built with Clean Architecture — domain layer separated from the data and presentation layers, making unit testing possible without an emulator.

Android Apps Built to Pass Review and Survive Production
Google Play has raised the quality bar significantly. Here's how I meet it.
App rejected for undeclared permissions, target SDK too low, or UI violating Play policy. Review cycle adds weeks and reveals last-minute architectural gaps.
Target SDK set to current requirements. Permissions declared only for features actually used, with rationale strings. Play policies reviewed against the feature list before any code is written.
Google Play shows crash rate above 1.09% or ANR rate above 0.47% — thresholds that trigger demotion in the Play Store ranking algorithm.
All network and disk I/O on background Coroutines — never on the main thread. WorkManager for deferrable background work. StrictMode enabled in debug builds to catch threading violations before release.
App designed for a Samsung Galaxy S23. Broken on a Pixel Fold, a budget Realme, and a 7-inch tablet. 40% of installs are on devices never tested.
Jetpack Compose with WindowSizeClass breakpoints for phone, foldable, and tablet. Tested on emulators covering the most common screen sizes in the Firebase Test Lab device matrix.
ViewModel directly instantiates Repositories. Repository directly instantiates Retrofit. Impossible to unit test without a network connection.
Hilt provides dependencies at every layer. ViewModel tests run without Android framework. Repository tests run without a real network using MockWebServer. Clean Architecture makes every layer independently testable.
Full-time hiring takes 2–3 months of recruiting, interviews, and notice periods. Your roadmap sits idle.
No recruiting pipeline, no notice period. Reach out today and we can be writing code by end of week.
Account managers relay messages to developers you've never spoken to. Feedback takes days to reach the person building.
You talk directly to me — the person writing every line. Slack, email, or video. No middlemen, no message relay.

Let's Talk About Your ProjectHow It Works
A straightforward process built for fast starts and transparent delivery.
Tell Me About Your Project
Send the project form with your requirements, timeline, and what success looks like. I respond within 24 hours with questions and a scoping proposal.
Agree on Scope & Rate
We align on deliverables, timeline, and engagement model — hourly, fixed-price, or retainer. A signed agreement before any code is written.
Clean Architecture Scaffold + Hilt + Room
Domain, data, and presentation layers structured. Hilt DI configured, Room DB schema designed and migrated with auto-migrations. Retrofit API client generated from OpenAPI spec. Emulator and real device both set up.
Feature-by-Feature with JUnit + Espresso
Each feature developed with JUnit unit tests for ViewModels and Repositories, and Espresso UI tests for critical user flows. Internal Play track updated each milestone — stakeholders review on real Android devices.
Play Store Submission + Android Vitals Baseline
APK or AAB signed and submitted via Google Play Console. ANR and crash rate baseline established before launch. ProGuard/R8 rules verified — no critical classes stripped. Play Store listing optimized with screenshots and description.
Transparent process, no surprises, no scope creep without discussion.
Code, IP, repository, deployment credentials — all yours from day one.
Daily or weekly async updates. You always know what's built, what's next, what's blocked.
Common Questions
How quickly can I start?
Within 24–48 hours after scope is agreed.
How do we communicate?
Directly — Slack, email, or video. No account managers or relay chains.
What if requirements change?
Changes discussed openly — scope and timeline impact agreed before proceeding.
Who owns the code?
You do. Full IP ownership transferred on delivery. No strings attached.

Pricing & Rates
Transparent, flexible pricing that scales with your project complexity and needs
What Affects Service Rate
Project Complexity
Simple apps differ from apps with maps, payments, real-time features, or complex offline sync.
Technical Responsibility
Architecting systems costs more than executing well-defined tasks.
Time Commitment
Long-term engagements (retainers) may have different rates than hourly work.
Team Scaling
Managing additional developers or handling team coordination increases cost.
Ongoing Support
Maintenance, monitoring, and continuous improvements have different pricing models.
Engagement Models
Perfect for smaller projects or when scope isn't fully defined. You pay only for time spent.
Clear scope, defined deliverables, and fixed price. Great when you know exactly what you need.
Ongoing monthly commitment for continuous work, maintenance, or on-call support.
Pricing is always discussed upfront and aligned with scope. You'll know exactly what you're paying for and why.
Pricing Questions
Can I get a discount for longer engagements?
Yes. Retainer arrangements typically have lower rates than hourly work.
Do you offer fixed-price projects?
Absolutely. If your app scope is clear and defined, I can agree on a fixed price upfront.
What if scope changes mid-project?
We discuss and adjust transparently. Changes are tracked and impact calculated before proceeding.
Do rates go up for more complex work?
Yes. Complex features or architecture decisions command higher rates.
Do you offer payment plans?
We can discuss flexible payment schedules aligned with project milestones.
How do you determine the final rate?
During our initial conversation, I'll understand your project scope and needs, then we'll agree on pricing together.
