Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMilen Pivchev is a mobile developer with nine years of hands-on experience building native iOS and Android apps and a BS in Information Technology from VIA University. Based in Berlin, he currently contributes to Nextcloud’s iOS app, improving file handling, UI behaviors, and integrating features like Talk and Notes for a widely used open-source platform. Previously at Double Symmetry he rewrote and advanced the Android side of a popular React Native audio module, adding Kotlin-based playback, media session and background capabilities. Comfortable with Kotlin Multiplatform, native stacks and cross-platform toolchains, he pairs pragmatic engineering with open-source collaboration. Not obvious from his title: he’s equally adept at fixing subtle edge-case bugs (file name/whitespace handling) and shipping larger architectural changes that improve CI and media workflows.
