Hi, I'm Somesh Kumar
Architecting the future of mobile.
I’m a mobile Tech Lead from Jaipur. I bring together deep expertise in native Android, native iOS, and Kotlin Multiplatform to build apps that perform flawlessly. But great architecture is nothing without a great interface. I have a deep love for UI/UX, obsessing over the details to create experiences that feel truly mobile-native, with that signature Material Design touch.
Behind the Code
I started my career as an Android developer writing Java. Today, as a Tech Lead, I build apps for both Android and iOS using Kotlin Multiplatform.
Over the years, I've built products from scratch, rewritten older legacy code into modern MVVM and Jetpack Compose architectures, and mentored junior developers. I have a Master's in Computer Applications from Jaipur National University, and I really enjoy contributing to open-source projects when I can.
Beyond the Screen
I'm based in Jaipur. I'm naturally a bit of an introvert, so while my day job involves a lot of leading and collaborating, I do my best work when I can just put on my headphones, put on some Eminem or hip-hop, and get completely into the zone.
When I'm not coding, I'm usually spending time with my kids, messing around with photography and photo editing, or reading up on astrology. I also really like traveling and the idea of hiking—taking my bike up to Rishikesh recently was a great way to unplug. I also love playing video games, though it's hard to find much free time for that these days!
'Cause I'm Slim Shady, yes, I'm the real Shady... All you other Slim Shadys are just imitating
