Let me introduce myself
I’m a self-driven Android framework developer with a deep passion for exploring new technologies and devices. While my formal education gave me a solid foundation, most of my expertise has come from self-learning experimenting, researching, and building hands-on projects.
My main focus is Android custom ROM development, and I enjoy contributing to open-source projects that push the limits of the Android ecosystem. With over 4 years of professional experience in Android framework development and a journey that began in 2016 as a hobby, I’ve continued to grow and refine my skills after completing my MCA in 2021.
My GitHub reflects this journey showcasing my projects, experiments, and contributions that highlight both my technical progress and my passion for innovation. I’m now looking to join a forward-thinking IT firm that values creativity, innovation, and curiosity - a place where I can apply my skills, collaborate with like-minded professionals, and continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on Android. I believe that learning driven by passion and curiosity leads to meaningful, lasting growth.
