Senior Android engineer. I care about how things are built.
Hi, I'm Temir Atambayev. As a Senior Android Engineer based in Auckland, I care deeply about how things are built. For over 8 years, I've designed and scaled mobile experiences used by millions, across New Zealand's biggest marketplace and a dating app running in 145 countries.
My focus is on modern tooling like Jetpack Compose, but what I really care about is keeping things clean and maintainable as they grow. Not just making it work, but making it last.
Beyond shipping features, I enjoy helping other engineers grow — through mentoring, code reviews, or just being the person who explains things clearly. If you want to talk Android, or have a question about one of my apps, I'm easy to reach.
