Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Biemann is a senior software engineer with 11 years focused on Android development, known for shipping production-quality apps across retail, consumer IoT, and automotive domains. Based in Seattle, he has driven AR features and accessibility enhancements at Best Buy, built subscription and billing modules at Wyze, and implemented a modular in-car virtual assistant for Microsoft that integrates speech, adaptive cards, and long-running services (contributed to the public Microsoft Bot Framework Solutions Android client). He combines low-level native work—JNI/NDK and serial/SPI integrations from his vending- and hardware-focused roles—with higher-level Kotlin/Java architectures using ViewModels, LiveData, RxJava, and dependency injection. A hands-on team lead and collaborator, he’s comfortable both guiding multi-developer teams and diving into bug fixes or race-condition fixes in voice/audio services. He’s particularly skilled at translating design-first UIs to Android and making complex platform capabilities (AR, billing, voice) accessible to product teams.
