Deep-dives into native Android apps, Jetpack Compose performance optimizations, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) shared codebases, and serverless server architecture.
Clean Architecture is often treated as the default standard for building modern applications, but a decoupled codebase doesn’t automatically mean a faster app. Here’s how I think about the trade-offs between clean abstraction, memory allocation, and real-world runtime performance.
My first thoughts on System Design as an Android and Kotlin Multiplatform developer, and how learning architecture changed the way I think about layers, models, boundaries, and software design.
MutableLiveData has been a familiar choice for Android developers for years, but Kotlin Flow feels much more natural when you're building shared code with Kotlin Multiplatform. Here's how I think about LiveData, Flow, StateFlow, and SharedFlow when moving from Android-focused development to KMP.
