Profile: https://flows.cv/eyalblum

With over 15 years of experience in software engineering, I am passionate about building and improving mobile applications that delight users and solve real-world problems. I have a dual background in computer science and mathematics, and a domain expertise in mobile development and developer platforms. I am currently a staff software engineer at Google, where I work on cutting-edge projects that leverage the power of Google's infrastructure to upgrade SMS for +1B people.

Previously, I was a staff engineer at Dropbox, where I led the technical direction for dropbox mobile teams. I was responsible for architecting and implementing core mobile libraries and APIs, as well as deciding which technology stacks to use and abandon. I also wrote and spoke about our mobile strategy, sharing our insights and challenges with the wider developer community. Some of the skills I used and developed in this role include Kotlin, Swift, Android, database.
