Summary
Justin Malakhow is a Lead Android Developer with 11 years of experience building custom firmware, Xposed modules, and production mobile apps for transportation and enterprise clients in the NYC area. He combines deep low-level Android expertise—ROMs, kernels and obfuscation analysis—with product-facing skills like map integrations, realtime UI components, and complex SQL-backed sync. Previously a professional pianist and synthesizer programmer for Broadway tours, he brings strong interpersonal skills and a creative, self-taught approach to engineering problems. At Myle and Lacus he led Android efforts for ride-sharing, fleet management, and biometric attendance systems, often extending the OS itself to enable novel features. Collected experience as a freelancer sharpened his ability to move between device-level engineering and consumer UX shipping. His enduring trait is rapid, independent learning—whether reverse-engineering bytecode or rewiring a piano string—to deliver practical, elegant solutions.
