Work History

My professional journey in software engineering and mobile development.

Oct 2023 - Present

Software Engineer

Hlfx, Kochi
  • Developed a high-performance Android WMS featuring native hardware integration via Kotlin Method Channels for Zebra's DataWedge barcode scanners. Architected complex logistics modules for location tracking and storage workflows, and implemented custom ZPL (Zebra Programming Language) logic for seamless thermal label printing across distributed warehouse environments.
  • Developed a Flutter-based SSO platform for 25,000+ users, integrating JWK token verification and Google/Apple/Facebook login; redesigned user flows, managed external team handovers, and improved documentation.
  • Stabilized multiple legacy Flutter apps (BuddyGuru, Epic Voucher, Hello Address, internal event tools) by resolving production crashes, upgrading outdated dependencies, modernizing build pipelines, and integrating SSO—improving reliability across apps with 100k+ downloads.
  • Architected and built a modular, offline-first analytics SDK entirely in Flutter/Dart, handling event capture, crash logging, batching, schema validation, local DB persistence, and background sync—used across multiple apps without relying third-party trackers.
Jul 2022 - Jun 2023

Mobile Developer

CoinedOne Technologies, Kochi
  • Led a 4-member team through design, development, and testing of a parental control app, now live on Google Play with strong user reviews.
  • Engineered core features including geofencing trials, biometric authentication, deep linking, push notifications, and real-time updates with WebSockets.
  • Established scalable Bloc/Cubit state management and integrated Flutter with native Kotlin modules, laying the foundation for maintainable long-term growth.
  • Collaborated directly with product and management teams in a fast-changing early-stage environment, adapting to rapid feature expansions and technical pivots.
