Who am I?

I'm Riyaz Ahamed, an Android developer based out of Bengaluru, India. I currently work at Flipkart on the Mobile App Engineering team, building the Android app used by millions of shoppers across India.

I care deeply about developer experience, clean architecture, and the craft of building software that others actually enjoy using. My open source work reflects that obsession.

When I'm not coding, I write about Android internals, UI patterns, and the subtle art of good product thinking.
