Hey 👋, I'm Van!
I'm a Senior Android Developer with 8+ years crafting robust mobile experiences. Currently leading the Android team at a major bank, where I architect secure, scalable solutions that thousands rely on daily.
I'm passionate about Clean Architecture, Jetpack Compose, and building bulletproof banking apps. When I'm not debugging at 2am or mentoring teammates, you'll find me exploring the latest in mobile security or sharing war stories from production.
