Summary
Karl Valliste is an Engineering Manager and Android specialist with 11 years of professional experience who currently leads mobile development at Glia after a hands-on transition to software in 2017 following a Computer Science degree from the University of Tartu. He spent several years building Android apps in Java and Kotlin at Mobi Lab for clients like Omniva, Veriff and InPay, and has supplemented his skillset with Spring Boot, Flutter and exploratory Python work on neural networks. Karl pairs technical depth with practical product sense honed from an earlier career in sales and ongoing co-ownership of investment ventures, which informs his pragmatic approach to team leadership and delivery. He also took deliberate parental leave in 2021–2023, using the time to upskill and refocus, and outside work he collects and plays tabletop games and plays disc golf.
