I'm the senior Android developer who built in-vehicle navigation for Harley-Davidson and a 100,000+ download app with on-device AI. Need the hard parts done, Bluetooth/BLE, on-device AI, or native speed that can't lag? That's my lane. 8+ years, Kotlin-first, based in Munich.
See exactly how I work in my Portfolio below. iThing is a live open-source IoT dashboard (99.6% Kotlin, Clean Architecture, Jetpack Compose). Ambicam is my 100,000+ download surveillance app on Google Play. I also ship cross-platform with Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), so you get iOS and Android from one Kotlin codebase.
Most clients hire me as an Android developer for one of these:
• A Bluetooth/BLE device that pairs but won't stay connected or sync reliably
• An app that needs AI running on the device, not a slow round-trip to the cloud
• A native Android app that lags, drains battery, or crashes under load
• Two separate budgets for iOS and Android when one shared Kotlin codebase would do
SERVICES I PROVIDE
BLE & IoT Android App Development
• BLE / Bluetooth Low Energy device pairing, reconnection and background sync
• Zigbee, TCP/IP and WiFi smart-device integration
• Smart-home, wearable, healthcare and industrial IoT apps
• Device data synced to your backend over REST API and Firebase
• Native hardware integration that no-code tools cannot fake
On-Device AI & Computer Vision for Android
• On-device ML with TensorFlow Lite (data never leaves the phone)
• Face recognition, number-plate / object detection, OCR with OpenCV
• Camera pipelines and real-time inference on the device
• Gemini and Claude API integration for cloud LLM features
Native Android App Development (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose)
• Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Clean Architecture, MVVM, Coroutines, Flow, Hilt
• REST API integration, Firebase, Room, offline-first apps
• Performance tuning, JNI/NDK and C/C++ for the critical paths
• Android Automotive, in-vehicle and other latency-sensitive systems
• Full lifecycle: architecture to Play Store launch, and taking over an existing Kotlin app
Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) Cross-Platform
• One shared Kotlin codebase for iOS and Android (60-95% shared)
• Compose Multiplatform for shared UI
• Roughly 35-50% cheaper than two native teams
• Migrating an existing Android app to KMP
PROVEN RESULTS (see for yourself)
• iThing, a live open-source IoT dashboard (in my Portfolio): 99.6% Kotlin, Clean Architecture + MVI, Jetpack Compose, Hilt
• Ambicam, a 100,000+ download Android surveillance app I built and maintain solo, on Google Play (iOS in Swift too)
• In-vehicle navigation for Harley-Davidson (TomTom Navkit): led 5 engineers, 25% latency reduction
• On-device face + number-plate recognition (TensorFlow Lite + OpenCV) and native C/C++ live streaming via JNI/NDK
• BLE, Zigbee, TCP/IP and WiFi integrations for government-scale tracking and attendance hardware
• My first Upwork contract, an industrial IoT / BLE Android app, closed at 5.0 with all five client endorsements
HOW I WORK
Communication: I reply within a few hours, give you honest timelines, and tell you the moment something changes. No silent weeks.
Quality: Clean architecture, code that respects the Android lifecycle and device memory, tested on real hardware, not just an emulator.
Where I fit: a senior Android developer and Kotlin developer based in Munich, Germany. I work in English, in the EU time zone, GDPR-aware by default.
Best fit: BLE/IoT apps, on-device AI, native Android performance work, Kotlin Multiplatform builds, and rescuing an existing Android app. Not a fit: surveys, research studies, or no-code builds.
TECHNOLOGY AND SKILLS
Native Android: Kotlin, Java, Jetpack Compose, Android SDK, Android Studio, Clean Architecture, MVVM/MVI, Coroutines, Flow, Hilt, Room, Retrofit
Cross-platform: Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), Compose Multiplatform, iOS in Swift
AI/ML: TensorFlow Lite, OpenCV, computer vision, on-device ML, Gemini API, Claude API
Native/Perf: JNI/NDK, C/C++, real-time streaming, performance profiling
IoT/Hardware: BLE, Bluetooth, Zigbee, TCP/IP, WiFi, smart-device integration
LET'S BUILD IT
If your project involves a Bluetooth or IoT device, on-device AI, a performance-critical Android app, or a Kotlin Multiplatform build, send me the details. I will reply within a few hours with an honest read on feasibility, the approach I would take, and a realistic timeline.
What is the hardest technical part of your app, the piece you are least sure can be done? Tell me that first.
