Summary
Erfan Gholami is an Android engineer with over 7 years building production-grade mobile apps and a decade of professional experience, specializing in location, mapping, and battery-efficient offline-first architectures. He has shipped GIS and geospatial photo-tagging products using MapLibre, OpenStreetMap and Google Maps, and has a track record of optimizing location monitoring to dramatically reduce battery usage in field and municipal apps. Proficient in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Clean Architecture, Hilt and Coroutines/Flow, he’s comfortable across the full Android stack—from custom UI frameworks and dynamic module loading to AIDL/Binder-based IPC and Semantic Web protocols. Passionate about privacy and data ownership, his M.S. thesis produced Android Solid Services (NLnet-funded), and he’s continuing that work with Solid Share to bring decentralized Solid Pod management into native Android. Open to senior roles, long-term contracts, or freelance work, he particularly seeks projects at the intersection of mapping, open-source, and privacy.
