I'm Muhammad Saad, an Android developer specializing in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Firebase backend development. With 5+ published projects using MVVM architecture and clean code principles, I build scalable mobile applications that solve real-world problems. Currently open to freelance and full-time opportunities.
I'm an Android developer who builds real-world mobile applications using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and Firebase backends. I focus on implementing clean architecture guidelines (MVVM), local SQLite databases (Room), and secure user authentication flows.
As a Software Engineering graduate from COMSATS University Islamabad, Sahiwal Campus, I balance technical logic with user-centered interface principles, backed by my certifications in UI design and app development.
