Profile
Projects
Suggestion App
Built a recommendation app developed in Android
Studio using MVVM connecting users to venues,
events, literature, and entertainment.
Utilized RxJava's declarative threading and
operators on the backend to make HTTP Requests
to various APIs and treat responses.
Persisted response data immediately after
converting to POJOs supporting offline first.
Used lifecycle-aware components like LiveData on
the frontend to avoid memory leaks.
Favorite skills learned: RxJava and transitive
closures
