About Me

Android engineering, integrations, and security—with a straight list of what I can take on below.

Portrait of Stavro Xhardha

I’m an Android engineer. Most of my work has been shipping production apps and integrations: phones, smart accessories, in-vehicle systems, and third-party services: where complex UI has to hold up in real daily use.

Today a large share of my time is Android Automotive: infotainment UX, theming, and tooling for a major global OEM. I also run Android app security reviews and document what I learn on my blog.

Check below what I concretely offer for you.

What I offer

Mobile Apps Native Android or Multiplatform mobile solutions (Android + iOS)
Security Audit Android app security review, risk notes, and practical fixes
Coaching Upskill developers and teams transitioning to Android
Play Store shipping Shipping your app to production can be a challenge; I can help you get it live
Business websites Clear, fast sites that explain what you sell and make it easy to get in touch
Telegram bots Lightweight customer channel when a full site isn’t in the budget: bookings, FAQs, menus, and alerts—right inside Telegram
NFC for marketing Tap-to-open campaigns: tags that launch your site, app, or offer—great for events, menus, and retail
AI Integration Ship AI features safely: integration, UX, and developer workflow automation
