Top SchoolHadi Ghouchani is a seasoned mobile and build engineering specialist with 11 years of experience improving developer productivity and shipping resilient Android apps across large-scale consumer platforms. He has led Android teams and initiatives at companies like Sheypoor, letgo, iFood and Bell, driving major performance and stability wins—such as slashing incremental Gradle build times from minutes to under a minute and reducing ANRs and runtime crashes through architectural refactors. As a Productivity Engineer at Bell he built tooling (including a Jetpack Compose Desktop app and automated installers), introduced Gradle conventional plugins and Merge Trains, and cut test and build times substantially while coaching 50+ developers. He also contributes to Arrow (arrow-kt), demonstrating deep Kotlin and functional-programming expertise by maintaining features, docs, and build quality in a widely used open-source library. Comfortable bridging hands-on implementation and developer workflows, Hadi pairs physics-trained analytical thinking with a knack for pragmatic automation and “out-of-the-box” problem solving. Now based in Old Toronto, he blends large-enterprise impact with open-source craftsmanship to make developer teams faster and systems more reliable.
