About me
I am a seasoned Android application developer and team leader based in Ontario, Canada, with over a decade of experience in the same while developing and releasing high quality applications to the market keeping scalability in mind. I have worked on a variety of applications (see portfolio).
I have experience working both independently and collaboratively, including but not limited to, a Fortune 500 company (F.I.S). I am currently working as an Android Engineer at Wayfair. I feel comfortable working in any environment thanks to my ability to adapt seamlessly. I am an expert in Kotlin, Core Java, Android Jetpack components, JUnit, and MVVM architecture. Additionally, my creative mind loves to brainstorm every detail so that there is no margin for error.
In addition to Android, I am aspiring KMP (Kotlin Multiplatform) and iOS developer.
What you will catch me doing (mostly):
-
Android Application Development
Professional development of applications for Android OS by following latest industry standards and SOLID principles. I prefer developing using Kotlin as the primary language albeit I have more years of experience with Core Java.
-
Project Management
Actively take part in all the stages of SDLC (System Development Life Cycle) to manage the development of mobile application. Apart from this, I also have been following SAFe Methodologies actively for the past 2 years.
-
Unit Testing
Make sure that the applications are up to the mark and without bugs. This saves time in the long run by a mile. I use JUnit, Mockito and Doubles/Fakes in TDD approach constantly.
-
Version Control
I maintain the code using version control tools such as BitBucket, Git, SVN, etc. I have a good grasp on this and can cherrypick any of these tools depending on the requirement. ;)
-
Client Management
Manage the communication and client relations. Connecting with client comes naturally to me and I have never had a negative experience or situation with the client and I would love to continue the same.
-
CI/CD (DevOps)
I have some experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins and BitRise. I have written few scripts for the pipelines/jobs in the past. I am very curious to work in DevOps domain as I find this very interesting.
-
Kotlin Multiplatform & iOS
I am actively learning Kotlin Multiplatform and iOS. If given an opportunity, I would love to work professionally on these technologies moving forward (in addition to Android, of course).
-
Mentoring Juniors & Interns
I have been actively mentoring and guiding juniors and interns for over a decade. Its something which I enjoy as I get to learn from a new perspectives myself.

Jonny Ucko(Client)
I think there are 3 main types of suppliers that I work with: 1. Those who I know very quickly I won't be working with them again 2. Those who did a good job and you could see working together again in the future and then there are suppliers like Tushar who you know ( normally from the first phone call ) that you want to work with them on as many projects as possible. Tushar is not just a professional Android Developer but also a great person to work with. He's a good person, polite, punctual, accurate and sticks to his words and timelines and also helpful thinking through strategic issues and even pointing out potential potholes....and don't forget he's an amazing Android Developer.

Xueyan McCubbin(Manager - FIS)
Tushar is a hardcore skilled Android developer, who's communicative and familiar with Scaled Agile Framework. I remember working with him on a very high profile client app which Tushar was an integral member who mentored junior developers with risk and mitigation plan identified. Needless to say, the project was a success with high quality. It was a great pleasure working with Tushar!

Stephanie Showers(RTE - FIS)
Tushar was a wonderful addition to our Mobile family. As an RTE, I do not always get a chance to work with the individual team members, but you can always tell the ones who stand out just through recognition of their work. Tushar often ran the demos for his work on his team and was critical to us developing a brand new, built from the ground up Mobile app. He participated in PI Plannings and other Agile/SAFe ceremonies on top of his stellar development work. I would highly recommend Tushar to anyone looking to hire.

Ishaan Gogna(Manager - Seasia)
Worked with Tushar on 3 projects as his manager and let me tell you, he is one dedicated dev! Not only does he completes his tasks on time, but also acts as a helping hand to fellow team mates. Always brings ideas to the table to a typical problem, which obviously helps others in one way or the other. Overall an awesome dev/person to have in a team!

Anuradha Sinduria(Solution Architect - FIS)
Tushar is a smart worker who is well versed in Android technical stack, plus pay equal emphasis in understanding the functional requirements of a system. He is detailed oriented and thinks 360 before implementing a solution where I never saw him rushing into a solution without doing proper impact analysis. He is a quick learner and well versed in written and verbal communication skills. He mentored his fellows well and set a example of great team player. Tushar possess leadership skills and I see a future leader in him. Would be obliged to work with him again!
