Android Developer based in Málaga

Iván Hijano Pérez

Android Developer with 4 years of experience developing and maintaining mobile applications in production environments.

Open to product teams, technical collaborations, and opportunities where performance, stability, and well-structured architecture matter.

Specialized in Kotlin and modern Android architectures such as MVVM and Clean Architecture, with hands-on experience in performance optimization, debugging complex issues, automated testing (Appium, Sauce Labs), and improving stability in a banking environment with strict quality and accessibility standards.

I complement my native profile with end-to-end product development: I build Klendar, a real-time local offers and events platform where I own the architecture, backend, APIs, and integrations across mobile, web, and admin panel, giving me a full understanding of the lifecycle of a mobile feature. I'm currently deepening my Jetpack Compose skills while also working with Flutter on cross-platform projects.

About

I work on high-impact applications with large user bases, contributing to feature delivery, code quality, user experience, and long-term maintainability.

Used to working in Agile environments and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams.

Comfortable balancing product goals, technical quality, and user-facing reliability.

Passionate about building scalable and maintainable solutions across mobile and backend contexts.
