From early Match feature work through Senior II ownership of shared platform infrastructure.

  1. Senior Android Engineer II

    @ Match
    Jan 2023 – Present · Austin, TX
    Technical Leadership
    • Guided the Android organization through adoption of Design Tokens and Shared Features Architecture — set technical direction across pods, drove alignment, and unblocked engineers so adjacent projects landed on time and at higher quality.
    • Took an active role in code review across the Android team and mentored junior engineers.
    • Partnered with the iOS lead to bring iOS team learnings into Android, then volunteered to extend the platform's CI/CD governance model back to iOS so both platforms ship under the same model.
    • Recognized in the 2024 manager review as “regularly exceeds expectations” for senior ownership and force-multiplier impact at the org level.
    Platform & Infrastructure
    • Led the migration of all shared Android libraries (Design, Design3, Network, Features) from a GitHub on-prem mono-repo into individual repos on GitHub Cloud, unblocking parallel team workflows.
    • Architected an end-to-end CI/CD system on GitHub Actions adopted across every shared library: fully automated RC → Release pipelines, branch protections enforcing develop → main, binary-compatibility and unit-test gates, downstream consumer tests, dynamic versioning, Docker-based reproducible builds, and Snapshot + Release publishing to Artifactory — eliminated manual release steps and saved significant developer hours org-wide.
    • On the E&E platform (2023): improved the starter project architecture and built brand-resource differentiation/reuse for drawables, strings, and themes; migrated theming to support the new shared architecture and removed legacy event-bus controllers.
    • Migrated unencrypted local storage to encrypted DataStore across brands, raising the platform's security baseline.
    Reusable Tooling & Developer Productivity
    • Co-designed Android's API code-generation framework with the iOS lead, giving Android the same fast-iteration loop and laying the groundwork for team-wide adoption.
    • Evolved that into automated OpenAPI client generation across QA-ALL, Production, and Reef environments, removing manual spec work and a long-standing source of QA errors.
    • Drove shared-features architecture decisions — e.g. designed external-argument support so shared features like Report-A-Concern could be reused across brand apps without forking.
    • Shipped reusable Billing, Privacy Preferences, and Environment Picker modules consumed by Match, Verticals, and Affinity apps.
    • Built shared design components and semantic design tokens used for rapid cross-brand UI iteration.
    • Integrated Showkase into the test-bed app to surface theme variants, dark mode, font and display scales, and RTL in one place; enhanced test-bed authentication to support cross-app login against any QA / REEF environment.
    Revenue & Product Impact
    • Polaris, Polaris v2, and Unlock Highlights (2023): contributed to the successful release of multiple Match roadmap projects through grooming, feature development, and bug resolution — pod PMs gave consistent positive feedback.
    • Google Play Billing (2024): led a 2-developer team to deliver Google Play Billing integration across 7 apps — Match, Stir, BPM, OurTime and others — under tight Google Play policy deadlines, safeguarding revenue and continued Play Store availability.
    • Discovery 2.0 (2024): led a 4-developer team to ship a scalable Discovery 2.0 profile experience on Match Android, abstracted (e.g. card stack) for reuse across E2 brands and built on design tokens for rapid UI iteration — boosted engagement in test cohorts.
    • MoreSites (2025): $665K in 2025 revenue (Jan–Nov actual + Dec run-rate) and ~$1.6M projected for 2026 across Match & Verticals ($488.3K), OkCupid + PoF ($156.8K), and Affinity ($22.8K).
    • ALC CTAs / Match MeDash (2025): drove a 7% lift in SuperLikes purchases, projected at $320K for Match subs in 2026, with Verticals rollout to follow.
    • SuperLikes Nudge / Bounce Back (2025): +13% take-rate with no cannibalization, +$100K this year and +$375K projected next year.
    • Took over Discover Ads mid-project, unblocked open issues, and delivered on schedule.

  2. Senior Android Engineer

    @ Match
    Jan 2021 – Mar 2023 · Dallas, TX
    Stir Android Launch (2021)
    • Stood up Stir, Match Group's dating app for single parents, on top of the existing Match Android codebase. Evaluated separate-app-module vs. product-flavor approaches and chose product flavors so both apps could share core infrastructure while preserving distinct identities.
    • Built a FlavorConfig framework that lets the team toggle features on/off per flavor through one line of config, instead of branching feature by feature.
    • Refactored the design system to a generic naming convention so every flavor renders its own colors and styles without forking screens.
    • Implemented and styled foundational Stir flows — Branding, Login, Onboarding, Registration, Profile Edit, RSO — following team architecture patterns and dev-testing each feature to reduce QA kickbacks.
    • Authored custom Android lint rules that flag and block hard-coded color literals in XML and Kotlin so each flavor is forced to source colors from its own theme — preventing the most common cross-brand visual regression.
    Stir Roadmap (2022)
    • Shipped a long sequence of Stir features across Q1 and Q3: Bio Notification, Free Time, Account Deletion, Marketing Survey, Rewind, Single Parent Preferences, Private Mode Toggle, StirTime in Profile Edit/Display, Multi-Photo Upload in onboarding, Stir Opt-in / Cross-sell, and Topics in profile.
    • MLKit face-detection spike: prototyped client-side facial detection so the app could give users instant feedback (e.g. on photo uploads) instead of waiting on back-end validation; presented findings to dev and product.
    Compose & Tech Foundations
    • Built the Stir Compose design system (gradient and outlined buttons, themes, text styles) — Stir's first surface area on Jetpack Compose.
    • Introduced an encrypted Jetpack DataStore implementation as the modern alternative to SharedPreferences across both apps; release builds use encrypted files, debug builds use plaintext for faster local debugging.
    • Partnered with the Core-web team to add App Links support, keeping the apps compatible with later Android OS versions.
    • Migrated legacy code to ViewBinding and trimmed only-needed A/B tests from API requests; cleaned up ~12 stale A/B tests across Match + Stir.
    • Presented Jetpack DataStore (2021) and Showkase (2022) to the Android team in tech meetings.
    Google IAB (2022)
    • Owned Google In-App Billing implementation across Match and Stir: reviewed existing native rate cards, developed new ones (NBM Discount / Non-Discount, Upgrade to Premium NBM / Non-NBM, Registered Sex Offender screen), and applied clean architecture with reusable UseCases throughout the native billing flow.
    • Spiked and shipped User Choice for Google IAB, letting users pick between payment methods — surfacing concerns to product, billing, and design teams along the way.
    Release Management & Cross-Functional
    • Ran the Stir release process on a regular cadence and handled Match releases when needed.
    • Helped teammates close out IAB and New Business Model work whenever capacity opened up.
    • Continued early-2023 work on Polaris and architecture refinements through promotion to Senior Android Engineer II in March 2023.

  3. Android Engineer

    @ Match
    Dec 2019 – Dec 2020 · Dallas, TX
    Trust, Safety & Compliance (2019–2020 ramp)
    • CCPA compliance: researched every impacted library, designed and shipped the implementation that brought the Match Android app into compliance with California's privacy law.
    • Shipped Elite Package, Legal Safety Pledge, Safety Center, and Mandatory Photos in quick succession — manager noted these were “completed ahead of estimates”.
    Roadmap Features (2020)
    • Date Check-in: shipped end-to-end through constantly evolving requirements and tight deadlines.
    • Vibe Check: implemented the feature plus its push-notification flows.
    • Dates tab: architected and developed the Dates tab from the ground up, contributing to grooming, planning, and design throughout.
    • Expert Quiz: built the Expert Quiz and the underlying conversation flows.
    Cross-Functional & Tech Sharing
    • Helped teammates unblock features mid-flight whenever they got stuck on technical issues.
    • Tracked new Android developments and presented updates to the Android team during regular tech meetings.
    • Closed 2020 with a manager rating of “Outstanding — consistently performs and contributes at a level that outpaces expectations” and a recommendation that I was “ready to adapt to a bigger role” — leading to promotion to Senior Android Engineer in January 2021.
