I design the systems other engineers build on top of — event-driven architecture, a custom navigation engine, code-generation tooling, and the camera pipeline underneath an OEM Android platform.
SELECTED WORK
AOSP Platform Customizations
IN PROGRESSA set of AOSP/SystemUI-level platform tweaks: suppressing system notifications on demand, hiding camera/mic privacy indicators on Android 13, log rotation for the on-device MQTT broker via a custom init.rc process, and kiosk-mode setup.

ONVIF surveillance framework for Android/JVM
IN PROGRESSWorking on JVM/Android streaming library for ONVIF-compliant IP cameras, built to run four simultaneous Wi-Fi camera feeds on the same constrained hardware that runs the rest of the platform. It's the project I'm actively building right now.

Compose Dynamic Design System
SHIPPEDA fully reusable design system with over a hundred components, including buttons, lists, interactive elements, animations, on-screen keyboards, dialogs, and much more. Each element is fully customizable and supports multiple states.

Feature Scaffolding Plugin
SHIPPEDAn Android Studio plugin that generates the full package structure and minimal viable code for a new feature — removing boilerplate from the day a feature starts.

AsyncAPI to Kotlin Compiler
SHIPPEDAsyncAPI describes the messages a service publishes and subscribes to; this compiler turns that specification directly into working Kotlin - the MQTT broker client, project specification files, message models, and topic wiring generated automatically, with HiveMQ used for the generated client at runtime.

How I Built This Site: From a Static Portfolio to a Self-Hosted CMS
SHIPPEDThis site didn't start as a CMS - it started as a static Vite SPA with a hand-built design system. Here's the full story of how it turned into a database-backed Next.js app with its own admin panel, bilingual content, and a VPS I provisioned myself.

How we disabled privacy indicators on custom Android image
A history and brief instruction for those trying to disable privacy indicators on their hardware. This requires modifying the Android source code, and I don't recommend disabling it completely; it's better to customize it, which is what this article will cover.
