Case study: Android developer work

Android developer at eMan Ltd.

From 2019 to 2020, I worked at eMan Ltd. as an Android developer on client apps for ŠKODA AUTO. The work covered ŠKODA Connect and ŠKODA OneApp.

This was team development inside existing product apps. I used Android SDK, Java, Kotlin, Jetpack libraries, Firebase and Jira.

Role

Android developer in a client team

At eMan, I worked as an Android developer in client projects for ŠKODA AUTO. I joined existing teams where I had to continue active development, keep code readable and deliver changes based on assigned requirements.

The work happened in a team and requirements were handled through Jira. The important part was understanding a larger app, cooperating with other developers and preparing changes that fit the existing product.

Projects

ŠKODA Connect and ŠKODA OneApp

I worked on the Android apps ŠKODA Connect and ŠKODA OneApp. These were automotive apps where the Android part connected to a broader product, client processes and existing technical decisions.

My work included feature development and maintenance, bug fixes, requirement implementation and preparation of changes for further review or testing.

01Requirements and bugs were handled in a client workflow through Jira.
02Android changes followed the existing codebase and product processes.
03Development combined Java, Kotlin, Jetpack libraries, Firebase and the standard Android SDK.
Technology

Java, Kotlin, Jetpack, Firebase and Jira

The technical stack mainly included Android SDK, Java, Kotlin, Jetpack libraries, Firebase and Jira. The work taught me how to operate inside an existing Android app, respect product context and handle changes in connection with a team.

This experience is useful for companies that need an Android developer for an active product. The important part is taking ownership of part of an existing app, working with a backlog and delivering changes without affecting the surrounding system.

Want to save time or costs with custom software?

I can help design an Android / iOS app and choose a practical delivery path, including Kotlin Multiplatform development.
