Projects

Skylight - The Aurora App (Android)
The development of this Android app started in 2015 and has been a huge source of learnings for me. I use it mostly as a way to learn and try out new ideas and technologies. It has undergone major rewrites, a language change to Kotlin, modularization, migration to RxJava, migration to coroutines, migration to Jetpack Compose, and much more.
