Summary
Kim Taylor is a Senior Android Engineer based in London with 11 years of experience building and leading mobile teams for high-growth consumer and fintech products. She has repeatedly modernised large-scale Android apps—introducing Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, coroutines, modularisation and CI/CD—to deliver biweekly releases, lower crash rates and faster incident resolution for millions of users. At Sendwave/Zepz she combined hands-on engineering and management to scale a global Android chapter, hiring and retaining 12+ engineers across four continents while helping the product process ~$15B annually. Comfortable in both IC and EM roles, she blends product-focused platform work (remote config, A/B testing, analytics, CRM integrations) with strict fintech compliance and security practices. Beyond engineering, Kim has driven org-level change through communities of practice, DEI initiatives and cross‑functional offsites that improved team cohesion and technical capability.
