👋 Hi, I’m Usman Farooq Android Developer
🚀 Building sleek, scalable Android apps with Java/Kotlin & Jetpack Compose.
About Me
Hey, I’m Usman Farooq — a passionate Android Developer with over 3 years of experience building sleek, intuitive, and high-performance mobile applications.
Driven by curiosity and creativity, I specialize in crafting robust Android apps using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and MVC, MVVM architecture — blending clean code with thoughtful design to deliver seamless user experiences.
Over the years, I’ve worked on numerous live and evolving projects, transforming ideas into impactful digital solutions. From feature-rich apps to lightweight tools, my work is all about creating value — for users, businesses, and the world.
My toolkit includes:
- 🔧 Modern frameworks like Retrofit, Room, Coroutines, and Jetpack Libraries
- ☁️ Cloud integration with Firebase, Firestore, and real-time databases
- 🎯 Architecture-first development for scalability, performance, and maintainability
- 💡 A deep focus on UI/UX that brings interfaces to life
But beyond the code — I thrive in dynamic environments where I can contribute to product strategy, lead through collaboration, and grow through continuous learning. Whether I’m working solo or with a team, I bring precision, passion, and a solution-first mindset to every project.
📈 I’m not just here to build apps — I’m here to build experiences that resonate.
Let’s connect and create something extraordinary together. 🚀
