I am a specialist at Android. I have been working independently building Android apps for the past 3 years. I have built apps for startups and established Fortune 500 companies. I have a lot of experience re-creating an existing iOS app in Android while also adapting it to the design and flow that Android users expect and will feel comfortable with. If you have an iOS app and need an Android app, contact me. If you have an existing Android app that needs a UI overhaul to update and modernize, fix performance or stability issues, let me know. If you want to build something new and cool, let's talk.
