Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristy Welsh is a Senior Android Developer with 13 years in software engineering and a decade focused squarely on Android, currently building FinTech apps at Edward Jones with Kotlin, Hilt, Room and Jetpack Compose. She blends deep legacy expertise—shipping apps backward-compatible to Android 2.1—with modern MVVM architectures, coroutines, and navigation components to maintain and modernize large mobile codebases. Kristy has led mobile efforts for high-scale consumer apps (NHL, WWE) and fintech projects, and frequently contributes as a staff-aug developer across distributed, remote teams. Beyond engineering, she has product experience releasing paid and ad-supported Android apps, plus a history of redesigning SQL Server databases and training onsite teams to adopt improvements. Comfortable across languages (Java, Kotlin, C/C++, C#, PHP) and tooling (CI, Git, Docker, Jenkins), she pairs hands-on implementation with pragmatic architectural guidance. An interesting facet: her career began in aerospace engineering and systems work, giving her a strong systems-thinking approach to mobile architecture and data integrity.
