Profile: https://flows.cv/mitil

I'm a software engineer with about two decades of experience building mobile products that reach millions of users. My passion lies at the intersection of mobile applications and emerging technologies - from architecting secure Android applications to exploring how AI and on-device ML can transform mobile experiences. I'm driven by clean, scalable, maintainable engineering and thrive when solving complex problems across the full development lifecycle - whether that means leading cross-functional teams, mentoring engineers, aligning with product and UX stakeholders, or partnering with external organizations to ship solutions that matter.

Across roles at Ivanti, MobileIron, Sony, Alohar Mobile, and Motorola, I've built Android products spanning enterprise security, consumer apps, and location intelligence. Highlights include leading Ivanti's Mobile Threat Defense solution for 1.5M + users, earning Android Enterprise Recommended certification for Android clients as an early Google launch partner, and growing Sony's Reader app rating from 2.7 to 4.0. Most recently, I've championed AI adoption on my team - automating testing and release workflows to meaningfully improve engineering velocity.

I hold an M.Tech in Computer Science from the Indian Statistical Institute and a B.Arch (Gold Medal) from Jadavpur University - a background that sharpened my systems thinking and attention to detail and design. I also invest in continuous learning, completing Machine Learning and Deep Learning specializations on Coursera, Generative AI and Agentic AI courses on DeepLearning.AI, and a High Performance Leadership program at the Professional Development Academy.

On the technical side, my latest core strengths are Android development (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines/Flow, MVVM, Clean Architecture), enterprise mobility (MDM, UEM, Android Enterprise, Mobile Threat Defense, FIDO2/Zero Sign-On), and actively deepening my skills in Generative AI, Agentic workflows, and on-device ML. As a Staff Engineer, I've equally invested in the people and process side - leading cross-functional teams, mentoring engineers, authoring technical design documents, and managing stakeholder relationships across product, UX, QA, and external partners.
