I'm really happy 🥰 and honoured 🛡️ to announce that I have been selected as Google Developer Expert for Android 🎉🎈. Thank you 🙏 everyone for supporting me.

So excited to see this finally arrive for Kotlin multiplatform 👏

Android has always driven innovation in the industry through its unique flexibility and openness. At this important moment, we continue to be at the forefront of how developers distribute their apps and games on billions of devices globally. Today we are announcing big changes: – Leading the way in store choice: A registered app store program that makes installation of participating app stores easier with a streamlined flow – A new business model for Google Play with lower prices for developers: The ability to use your own billing alongside Google Play Billing, and lower service fees. These changes will make for a stronger Android ecosystem with more choice for users and even more successful developers who can further invest in higher quality experiences on mobile and beyond. The above will be rolling out in phases, subject to local laws and processes. We are also excited to announce that we’ve resolved all our disputes with Epic Games globally! Details on all of this can be found at our blog post. android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/a-new-…

I'm feeling pumped ✨, a bit nervous and a higher sense of responsibility for presenting a keynote especially on such a crucial topic. Thank you @AndroidMakersFR - this will be a fun one 🔮

Feeling stuck or unsure about your future as an Android developer 🤖 or even as a Software Engineer? You’re not alone! Between GenAI and Agents getting better and better, sloth in hiring 🦥; this is keynote is for all of engineers out there ❤️

Recomposition debugging in @AndroidStudio is about to get a whole lot easier with the new way to "Observe Node" in the Layout inspector 🔁 In the layout inspector, right-click the recomposition column, and click "Observe Node", which then changes blue & you can inspect state 😻

Jetpack Navigation 3 is stable now 🎉 android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/11/jetpac…

When I first took on the financial responsibilities of my family, I realised how difficult it is to be a man. No matter how much you earn, some expenses will always find you… and you still have to provide. At a certain age, men inherit unsaid expectations: Earn. Provide. Hold everything together. And the bitter truth? If a man doesn’t earn enough, society rarely values him.. not even the people closest to him. So, to every man out there who carries his responsibilities without complaints, who gives unconditional support to his family… Happy International Men's day. You’re seen. You’re appreciated.

@sciencegirl Humanity 😅

In your opinion what is the biggest threat to humanity

I had an amazing time presenting and meeting the Android community in Kenya which felt really vibrant ✨

Finally we need these laws in India

Excited to speak after a good hiatus at @droidconLondon (will be my first time speaking at London 🎡) Hoping to meet a lot of old friends from the Android community 🤖

Fantastic idea, super excited for this
