ABOUT ME
Senior Android Engineer
Senior Android Engineer

Android software engineer (10+ years) with a mathematics background, fan of RxJava, architecture and clean code. After years of experience in the backend side, I have now moved to the Android world. I equally enjoy writing clean, well-architected code, as well as developing beautiful UIs full of animations.

I also enjoy sharing my thoughts, findings and experience with the community through my Medium publications: https://medium.com/@aristides.papadopoulos

I hold two Master's degrees, one in High Performance Computing, and the other one in Statistics and Operational Research.

I currently lead the Android development efforts at Fleksy keyboard (Thingthing Ltd).

As a freelance android developer I worked on a number of apps. Some of them were apps from scratch and others were as a member of a team or making improvements to existing apps. After that I worked as the Android Lead of the Fleksy keyboard, an app with more than 5 million downloads on Google Play. In this position I was responsible for the full development cycle of the app: architecture, design and development, infrastructure.
