Jeevan Deshmukh
Available for senior Android roles

Production Android, from payment rails to living-room robots.

I'm Jeevan Deshmukh — a Senior Android Engineer with 8+ years in Kotlin & Java. I build apps that move money at PayPal, bring Miko companion robots to life, and put KYC, IoT, and retail POS into people's hands — with an eye for clean architecture, reliability, and craft.

At a glance

Eight years, six teams, and a range of hard problems — condensed.

Senior Android Engineer

I take Android features from spec to production: architecture, Compose UI, background & async pipelines, native and platform integrations, and the tests that keep them honest.

About

I turn complex requirements into reliable, maintainable Android apps — from architecture and modularization to background processing, native integrations, and testing.

Over 8+ years I've designed, developed, tested, and delivered Android across smartphones, tablets, enterprise, client-server, IoT, robotics, payments, and KYC. I'm an expert in Kotlin and Java with deep, hands-on work in the Android SDK, Jetpack Compose, MVVM/MVP/MVC, Clean Architecture, Coroutines & Flow, RxJava, WorkManager, AIDL/Binder, and multi-module development.

My integration toolkit spans REST & GraphQL, Retrofit/OkHttp, Firebase, Room/SQLite, Google Maps & Location, Camera/CameraX/Camera2, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, sensors, TensorFlow, JNI/NDK, OAuth, and payment gateways — backed by real testing (JUnit, Mockito, Espresso, UI Automator) and CI/CD with Jenkins & CircleCI. I care about legacy modernization, performance, and secure, scalable delivery.

PayPal2024 — NowPayments

Consumer payments at global scale

The problem

Evolve consumer payment features inside one of the world's largest payments apps — where reliability, correctness, and performance are non-negotiable and the codebase is massive.

What I built

Production Android features in Kotlin with Jetpack components and modern architecture — shipping Jetpack Compose UI, orchestrating reliable background work with WorkManager & Job Scheduler, and building reactive flows with Coroutines & Flow against existing components and REST APIs.

Miko2022 — 2024Robotics

Bringing a companion robot to life

The problem

Miko's companion robot for kids needed a polished, safe, parent-facing Android app that talks to the robot in real time, serves rich learning content, and keeps families engaged.

What I built

Led Android development in Kotlin/MVVM — AIDL-based IPC to coordinate with the robot's services, responsive Jetpack Compose UIs, and background/async pipelines with WorkManager, Coroutines, Flow & RxJava. Integrated Maps, Camera, Location and REST APIs, and shipped Flutter builds for reach.

Jukshio → for Reliance Jio2019 — 2020KYC · On-device ML

On-device digital KYC, built as an SDK

The problem

Onboard telecom customers in minutes with a compliant, on-device digital KYC flow — verifying documents and faces reliably across a huge range of Android phones.

What I built

An internal Android SDK that streamlined cellular onboarding & KYC automation — integrating TensorFlow models with Camera/Camera2/CameraX for on-device image processing, bridging native code via JNI, and wiring networking with Retrofit/OkHttp. Shipped in JioPOS Plus, with CircleCI CI.

Zobaze2020Retail · POS

A point-of-sale that fits in a pocket

The problem

Small merchants needed a fast, offline-friendly point-of-sale and online shopfront on Android — scan or search items, bill in seconds, and print or share receipts.

What I built

The Android POS and online shopfront in Kotlin/MVVM — optimized Gradle builds, a multi-module architecture, and legacy code refactored to MVVM. Integrated Location, Wi-Fi, GPS, Camera, and Bluetooth receipt printing, plus a Flutter build.

A community super-app for everyday faith

The problem

Bring prayer, Quran, duas, community chat, giving, and a marketplace into one accessible Android app — easy enough for everyone in the family to use.

What I built

Shopping- and accessibility-focused Android in Kotlin/MVVM with Jetpack Architecture Components — a multi-module architecture with Room, LiveData, ViewModel & Paging, REST & GraphQL, and Location services for nearby-agent discovery and communication workflows.

Antariksh Waste Ventures2017 — 2019IoT

Smarter waste tracking with IoT

The problem

Give citizens and city teams a way to track bins, waste pickups, and green workers across localities — and nudge better waste-segregation habits.

What I built

IoT-based Android apps in Java/MVP — integrated the Firebase suite (Realtime DB, Auth, Storage, Remote Config, Crashlytics, Cloud Functions), geofencing & Google Maps, and Bluetooth/Wi-Fi sensors talking to IoT devices, with SQLite persistence.
