My technical skills

In my full-time job, I'm a professional Android engineer, so I daily use the Android SDK.

Since years now, I've been writing apps in Kotlin (or Java if it's technically necessary) using Kotlin Coroutines, Jetpack Compose (or classic XML with View/Data Binding), preferably with MVVM pattern, DI (e.g. Koin) and more Jetpack components like DataStore. I utilize Test-Driven-Development if it's reasonable or necessary.

For database abstraction, I prefer SQLDelight because it's Kotlin Multiplatform compatible, just like Ktor client and server for communication with a backend or implementation of a backend application itself. Before, I used OkHttp+Retrofit and Python 3 (with frameworks like Django, Flask+SQLAlchemy+Marshmallow) for that. My server applications are deployed with Docker. Before, I utilized Nginx and Gunicorn manually on my Debian based root server.

I daily use Git and last but not least, I have some limited experience with UI/UX design and web technologies like HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and Foundation.

I like to work in a precise and detailed way to achieve high product quality. Also, I have a lot of experience writing clean code (shout-out to Robert C. Martin) and also keeping the code clean (which is often a lot more effort). Furthermore, I'm highly interested in cryptographic topics, so I build up a lot of knowledge in this field as well.
