## What I do

At Google, I work as an *Android Developer Relations (DevRel)* engineer. It's my focus to help improve the Android developer experience. I'm currently focusing on **Kotlin & Coroutines, Jetpack Compose, general app architecture, and dependency injection** (including Dagger and Hilt).
I currently work as a Staff Android Engineer at Bumble Inc. where I work with other Android developers to deliver a first-in-class user experience.

My role can be clearly divided into two main tasks:

* **Feedback to other teams**. DevRel is the *0th customer* for libraries and framework SDK updates. We're the first ones trying out what's coming next in Android development and deliver feedback accordingly. **Always with the Android community in mind**, I pay attention to API usability and how certain features could be misused, discuss trade offs and alternatives to different solutions, file bugs, etc.
## What I did at Google

At Google, I worked as an *Android Developer Relations (DevRel)* engineer from 2019 to 2023. It was my focus to help improve the Android developer experience focusing on **Kotlin & Coroutines, Jetpack Compose, general app architecture, and dependency injection** (including Dagger and Hilt).

* **Outreach and guidance**. Apart from the content you can find in this website, I contribute with documentation to [developers.android.com](https://developers.android.com), [codelabs](https://codelabs.developers.google.com/), and [code samples](https://github.com/android). I love getting involved with the community by going and speaking in conferences, writing articles, and helping others as much as I can.

After almost 5 amazing years working at Capital One, I got the opportunity to join a stellar team at Google focusing on what I'm passionate about: Android, the community, outreach, and helping others. On top of that, the position was in Spain, I was coming home!

The dream came true, **my hobby became my job**.
